<p class="gmail-msonormal">Dear Friends,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="gmail-msonormal">It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing away of our colleague Philip Ross Smith, who died peacefully in his sleep on Saturday Dec. 16, after a protracted battle with cancer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="gmail-msonormal">Ross will be remembered as one of the pioneers of the field of Three Dimensional (3D) Electron Microscopy as it came to be known in the late 1960’s and 1970’s. During his early work at the
<i>Biozentrum</i> in Basel Ross pioneered the development of the image processing software package
<i>Micrograph Data Processing Program</i> (<i>MDPP</i>) which he applied to exploring the 3D structural organization of the bacteriophage T4 capsid and its contractile tail.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="gmail-msonormal">In 1978 Ross joined the faculty at the <i>New York University</i> School of Medicine where he devoted his career to developing novel computing resources for education and research in the life sciences and for solving problems in medical
informatics.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="gmail-msonormal"> A Memorial for Ross is being planned for the near future.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="gmail-msonormal">We extend our deepest condolences to Ross’ wife Marjorie and daughters Rebecca and Laura.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="gmail-msonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="gmail-msonormal">Ueli Aebi, Andreas Engel, Martin Kessel and Alasdair Steven<o:p></o:p></p>
