Professor Emeritus Hugues Ryser passed away Jan. 24. Dr. Ryser was a member of our department and Professor of Pathology and Pharmacology from 1972-2003. He also held appointments as a Professor of Public Health and Socio-Medical Sciences and Community Medicine, and Biochemistry at BUSM. He was the recipient of the St. George National Award, in recognition of distinguished service for significant impact on the American Cancer Society’s strategic goals and mission-driven programs in 1996. He was also nominated a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Dr. Ryser was born in Switzerland in 1926. He received his Swiss medical degree (1953) and his Dr Med degree (1955) from the University of Bern before working in the Department of Medicine at University Hospital in Lausanne. In 1958 Dr. Ryser moved to Mass General Hospital and then to Harvard Medical School, where he remained for more than 10 years, becoming a faculty member in the Pharmacology Department. He subsequently moved to the Washington/Baltimore area to pursue research in Cell and Molecular Biology and Pharmacology before returning to Boston to become Professor of Pathology and Pharmacology at Boston University School of Medicine in 1972. Dr. Ryser held faculty appointments as well in the Departments of Public Health and Socio-Medical Sciences and Community Medicine (Environmental Health) and in Biochemistry at BUSM. While working here, Dr. Ryser and wife Dr. Carol Ryser (d. 2012), moved to Concord, Mass., where they raised a family and continued to live for the remainder of their lives. 

Dr. Ryser was an intellectually curious person. His broad background in medicine, pharmacology, pathology, cell biology and biochemistry led him to explore challenging questions over 50 years of research and teaching resulting in more than 100 peer reviewed articles and abstracts. His later work contributed to elucidating the mechanisms by which HIV is able to enter human cells. Dr. Ryser also served on many national and international organizations committed to improving the quality and breadth of research in the United States. He was a strong supporter of young researchers. As president of the Boston Cancer Research Association he helped provide funding to future cancer researchers in the New England area. He never hesitated to support women in science and medicine, even when this was not common practice. Dr. Ryser was strongly committed to biomedical research and teaching. At the same time, he was a lover of French food and French culture and was a beloved husband, father and grandfather. He will be missed by many at BUMC who knew him well.
