Brett Lindenbach

Brett was our collaborator when I was working on my thesis project on HCV ~15 years ago. I'm very sorry to hear of his passing, what a great loss to the Yale and HCV research community!

I was honored to have met Brett and Joanna. He confronted his disease bravely but was also a top notch scientist who cared deeply about making science advances! He will be missed!

Dear Joanna, Molly and Claire,

My sincere condolences to you and the whole family. Brett was an amazing scientist, colleague and researchers. I was fortunate to collaborate with him and to get to see what at courageous, funny and progressive person he was. His science will live on and he will always be missed at the HCV meetings. I hope you will find solace in your memories of him.

Brett was a kind and positive human, who always looked at the bright side of life, even in his last months. I met Brett when I worked at the Department of Microbial Pathogenesis and thanks to his enthusiastic attitude and encouragement, I fell in love with virus research.
He sent me happy songs and cheered me up with his attitude until the very end. What a great loss, I miss his smile already...

Brett was very kind when I was doing my PhD and shared a number of reagents and a little bit of wisdom as well. Very sorry to hear of his passing.

Brett was a kind hearted, brilliant man, who loved viruses as much as I did, loved helping young early career scientists. Was a mentor and someone I looked up too. I cant believe he is gone. I will miss him. We just got to laughing one day about poorly designed experiments in virology. I will never forget him. He was amazing!

Joanna I am so sorry for your loss. I remember when we needed batteries for one of our swings in the infant room that Claire was using and he quickly went and bought us a bunch of them. He also made sure to save me some of the food he made for our summer potluck. He was very thoughtful. I am sending hugs and prayers to you, Molly and my sweetie Claire. You guys will always be in my thoughts.
Love,
Ms. Micki

I am very saddened by Brett´s passing. I was Molly´s preschool teacher at Alphabet Academy. Brett always had a big smile on his face when he dropped off Molly in the morning. You are in my thoughts and prayers, Joanna, Molly, and Claire.
