NYU Science is deeply saddened by the loss of Dr. Philip Benfey, a distinguished Professor of Biology at Duke University and a prominent Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Our thoughts are with his family: his wife, Elisabeth -- the love of his life-- and their two sons, Sam and Julien.

At NYU, those who knew Philip grieve the loss of a friend, a mentor, and a colleague, whose keen perspective and insightful observations reverberate as a source of scientific inspiration.
