John Lisman — In Memoriam

(1944-2017)

John Lisman

John Lisman had a relationship with life, art and science that never wavered in its intensity even as he was battling cancer. Brandeis University was his home from the start of his academic career — he graduated cum laude with a bachelor's degree in physics in 1966 — through his tenure as the Zalman Abraham Kekst Chair in Neuroscience. John's passion for science expressed itself collaboratively with people locally and all over the world. He will be greatly missed.
