The Society notes with regret the death on 14 March of Honorary Member Sir Stanley Peart FRS, FMedSci, FRCP at the age of 96. Trained in medicine at St Mary’s Hospital Medical School in London, where he later served as Professor of Medicine, Peart was the first to purify and determine the structure of the peptide hormone angiotensin and to isolate renin. A trustee  of the Wellcome Trust from 1975, he headed the clinical research panel which was instrumental in promoting the beginnings of the human genome project and neuroimaging research. He became a Society Member in 1953 and was knighted in 1985. Read his obituary in Physiology News here.
