Tullio Pozzan

Il Prof. Pozzan è stato il mio mentor. Nel suo laboratorio ho fatto la tesi di laurea, sono stata “iniziata“ alla ricerca di base e poi con lui ho fatto il dottorato. ... »»

I have many memories of prof. Pozzan, having spent seven years in his laboratory at the Department of Biomedical Sciences (this was still the appellation at the time), University of Padova. Those were probably my most formative years as a scientist, and I feel honored and incredibly lucky for having had the chance of being mentored and inspired by him. ... »»

I first met Tullio back in Goettingen in 1992, when the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry hosted his visit. I of course knew about his brilliant work but I remember being amazed at how open and kind he was, especially to a young postdoc like me at the time, who was nothing to him. ... »»

When Tullio hired me as a postdoc in his lab, at the end of the interview he told me: ‘I think I can work with you, the position is yours’. I was happy, obviously, but also slightly hesitant. ... »»

Tullio was a scientific giant with an indomitable enthusiasm and passion for life. He was a constant presence in the department, pacing the isles of the laboratory, glaring at monitors, eager to see first the next discovery. ... »»
