Debra Hullett Obituary
Deb graduated from Northfield High School in Minnesota in 1972 and earned her Ph.D. from UW-Madison. She worked as a Distinguished Scientist at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Department of Surgery for over 30 years. Her renowned work resulted in numerous awards, over 130 publications and multiple patents in the area of transplant immunology and diabetes research.

Deb most enjoyed time outdoors and at her cabin in northern Minnesota. She was an avid kayaker and fisherman. She loved sharing her enthusiasm for nature and the outdoors with her nephews and niece, and spending time around the campfire with family and friends.
