Dan also has been an important member of the ASBMB community. He was president of the society from 1990 to 1991, served on the JBC editorial board, was a member of the ASBMB Council and was program chairman.

So, Dan is closing his laboratory. But, fortunately, he will remain the supportive and intellectual resource we’ve always known him to be.

Daniel M. Raben is director of the ASBMB Lipid Division and a professor in the department of biological chemistry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He can be reached at draben@jhmi.edu.
