Warren Sanger, Ph.D. |
The funeral service for UNMC’s Warren Sanger, Ph.D., will be held at 1:30 p.m. today at Rockbrook United Methodist Church, 9855 West Center Road.
Dr. Sanger died Thursday at age 69 following a brief illness.
He was the director of the Human Genetics Laboratory, which he founded, and director of clinical genetics at the Munroe-Meyer Institute (MMI). He also was a professor in the departments of pediatrics and pathology and microbiology.
“It’s a big loss for this campus,” said Mike Leibowitz, Ph.D., director of MMI. “Warren was a wonderful colleague and friend. Through his work at UNMC, he built a nationally recognized laboratory known for the excellence of its services, research expertise and an educational program that continues to develop young leaders in laboratory as well as in clinical genetics.”
Other UNMC colleagues and friends shared their memories of Dr. Sanger here.
