I was a fellow faculty member at the University of Minnesota in the Department of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences with Dr. Kannan. We discussed a lot of science related to our common interests in leukocyte biology and inflammation. Dr. Kannan was a very kind and helpful colleague with genuine enthusiasm and passion for research. Dr. Kannan's legacy will include his novel research that advanced our understanding of inflammation and airway diseases.
