Pedro Cuatrecasas

As spaniard and born in Madrid with proud for Pedro. We need more people like him.

I didn´t met Pedro, but his father Jose Cuatrecasas Arumi was professor in my Department of Botany (Universidad Complutense) before the Spanish civil war. I am very proud of it, he was a very talented botanist and also his son Pedro as Pharmacologist. I am very sad to know about your lost. Rest in peace! Rosario

Tuve el gran honor de trabajar con el Dr. Pedro Cuatrecasas como caregiver para su esposa Carol y después un poco con el. Fue una gran persona en vida y así lo recordaré siempre. Descanse in paz doctor y mis condolencias para su familia.

Casualmente, tratando de contactar a Pedro, su padre, he sabido hoy de su fallecimiento y el de Caro un año antes. Ha sido un golpe muy duro Trabajé con Pedro cinco años y le admiraba profundamente como persona y científico. Conocer su muerte y la de su esposa ha sido un golpe muy duro. Como lo fue el fallecimiento de sus padres José y Marta, a los que frecuenté en Washington durante mi estancia en los NIH. Mis condolencias más sentidas, siempre tendré a Pedro en mi corazón.

I often think about Pedro and the time we worked together for more than 35+ productive years. Pedro was my teacher, guide, advisor, coworker, and a close friend. I cannot underestimate how much I owe him for my professional training. I will remember Pedro for the rest of my life.

It was Pedro who, in 1976, convinced me to leave academia and join Burroughs Wellcome Co. I have nothing but fond memories and high regard for my experience with him.

I worked with Pedro at Glaxo from 1988, then followed him here to Parke-Davis in 1997 after his departure for California. He deserved a Nobel Prize for affinity chromatography alone, and was an inspirational scientist and world-class leader in drug discovery.

My condolences to the family of Pedro. Pedro was a very kind man. I interacted with him at Parke-Davis on some issue I had. He had concern and understanding that I will never forget.
