Henry Lardy, a highly regarded emeritus professor of biochemistry at UW-Madison, died of complications due to cancer on Wednesday. He was 92.
“He was really one of the most outstanding people to ever work in our department,” says Hector DeLuca, a longtime UW-Madison biochemistry professor who is a former student of Lardy?s. “He was a very in-demand researcher and yet was so down-to-earth.”
