ABSTRACT
Sadly, on the 19th of December 2010 we lost a great man and scientist. But fortunately his legacy lives on. I met Mark personally in 2005 when I was a visiting PhD student in the Institute of Pathology, Case Western Reserve University, under the supervision of Dr. George Perry. My first impression of Mark was of a man with humor and a big smile in his face. At that time I thought “This is a friendly environment! Everything will be ok!”. And so it was! Indeed, Mark had a positive personality and the gift to make the others feel that their ideas and thoughts really matter. At the lab, Mark always shared his vast knowledge without expecting anything in return. Well, maybe some papers! Indeed, it was there that I discovered my “scientific writing vein”. Mark was an excellent mentor and was always willing to help me in a multitude of ways. Between us a real bound of friendship and partnership was established. When I returned to Portugal his continuous support helped me to establish my independent scientific career. And I will always be thankful.
