Chuck Rock was a lipid biochemistry pioneer and early leader of the ASBMB Lipid Research Division. During his prolific 43-year career he published >300 manuscripts, accumulated >25k citations, and had an H-index of 56! His lipid research also led to several patents and drug candidates that are advancing through clinical trials today.
I was among his last postdoctoral acolytes and wrote a retrospective piece on him in ASBMB Today. You can read about this super lipidologist here: Charles O. Rock (1949 – 2023) (asbmb.org)
