It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Lloyd Mayer, MD. As a small part of his being a fantastic colleague to all of us, Lloyd had been an active member of the Network Steering Committee since 2006 and the Protocol Chair for ITN047AI TAKE (“A study to determine The immunogenicity And oral tolerance to Keyhole limpet hemocyanin”). Lloyd was also Professor and Co-Director of the Immunology Institute, the Dorothy and David Merksamer Professor of Medicine and Professor of Microbiology at the Mount Sinai Medical Center.
Lloyd brought his unparalleled expertise in immune regulation in the gut, intestinal bowel disease, and his general enthusiasm for understanding mucosal immune tolerance to the ITN. His scholarship and collegiality will be greatly missed.
