It is with sadness that we share with you the passing of Dr. Robert Nussenblatt. Bob was the President of FOCIS from 2013-2015.
Bob was the President of FOCIS from 2013-2015. In his many years of service, he made a great impact on the FOCIS community through his dedication and scientific excellence. He was a leader in both the immunology and ocular communities and brought them together to stimulate research, discovery and new modalities of treatment. Among many things, we will miss Bob’s enthusiasm for connecting people and great ideas. Please keep his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.
For those that are interested, memorial contributions may be made to the JWB Jewish Chaplains Council. Arrangements entrusted to Torchinsky Hebrew Funeral Home, 202-541-1001 (endorsed by The Rabbinical Council of Greater Washington).
