It is with sadness that The Society reports the death of Christopher (Chris) Peers on 20 May 2018. Having obtained a degree in physiology and a PhD in pharmacology from RFHMS, University of London, a period of postdoctoral research at Oxford was followed by his appointment as Lecturer in Pharmacology at the University of Leeds in 1994. From then on, an exceptionally high level of research quality and productivity led to rapid career progression and promotion to Professor of Cellular Physiology in 2002. Chris will be remembered as a remarkably enthusiastic and gifted researcher with a warmth of personality that ensured numerous enduring collaborations.
