Charles Warren Assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular biology

A memorial service for Charles Warren, assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular biology, will be held at 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 5, in the great room of Huddleston Hall. Warren's funeral will be held prior to the memorial service at noon at Riverside Cemetery, Elm Street, Newmarket. Friends and colleagues of Warren are welcome at both the funeral and memorial service.

Warren died Saturday night, July 30, from injuries sustained in a paragliding accident the day before. He had been on vacation in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

His family, who is from Scotland, has requested that dress for the memorial service be business casual. Black clothing is not desired.

Statement from UNH President Ann Weaver Hart:

“The death of Professor Warren has a profound effect on our community. In a magazine column two years ago, I used Charles Warren as one of our best examples of a faculty member who represented the epitome of interdisciplinary teaching, research and outreach. While he has been at UNH for only three years, he already was making his mark on students and colleagues. Professor Warren was deeply committed to working with New Hampshire school teachers through the Leitzel Center and was co-director of the New Hampshire Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network. His research in glycobiology will one day lead to better treatments for disease. While rising star sounds cliché, Professor Warren epitomized that star quality. We mourn his loss tremendously.”
