Monica Bertagnolli, Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), shared a post on LinkedIn:
“The biomedical research community owes so much to Dr. Lawrence Tabak – a pioneer in field of glycobiology and an academic leader who for the past 25 years has provided the NIH with truly outstanding leadership. Always avoiding the spotlight when he deserved credit for his many accomplishments, Larry was never absent when difficult challenges needed to be addressed. His overall impact is tremendous because he made success possible for countless researchers across our nation and the world. I am so grateful for the time that I was able to spend working with him!”
