In Remembrance: Marilyn G. Farquhar Died on November 23 2019

Marilyn G. Farquhar passed away on November 23, 2019, at the age of 91. She had been on faculty at Yale from 1973 to 1990, when she returned to California to join the faculty at US–San Diego. At Yale she helped pioneer the discipline of cell biology, making seminal observations related to cell structure, intercellular junctions, and intracellular traffic especially as found in endocrine and renal cells. Her studies of the glomerular filtration barrier of the kidney in physiology and pathology had a seminal impact on medicine.
