Jean Dusart, our friend and former leader of the 'Strepto Group', passed away on July 17, 2012. He was one of the founding members of the CIP and, for many of us, he was more a friend than just a colleague.

In a gentle but rigorous way, Jean mentored many young scientists who obtained their doctorates under his direction. Most of his former PhD students greatly appreciated his permissive and, at the same time, paternal way of supervising. He managed to generate a competition-free working atmosphere where all members could freely develop their own project. Freedom and an ideal working environment for his PhD students was Jean’s major priority as supervisor, far before his own ambition.
