Statement from Professor Andrew P. McMahon
Frank B. Baird, Jr. Professor of Science and Chair of the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology
December 21, 2001

The loss of Don Wiley is a tragic event. Don's contributions to our understanding of immune system function and viral infection have had an extraordinary impact. He tackled important biological problems with a precision, clarity and insight that was inspirational. Over the last thirty years Don has been a vital force in our Department. His combination of energy, boyish enthusiasm and sharp intellect has played a major role in all of our activities. His absence leaves a great void. Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time.
