It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the death of our friend and colleague Stuart Pickering Brown. As a researcher in genetics, Stuart was involved in the identification of genetic causes of FTD from the very beginning. He was a visiting scientist in Mike Hutton's lab at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, Florida USA between 2003 and 2005. After his return to Manchester, UK, he contributed extensively to the identification of Progranulin mutations in 2006, and of C9orf72 repeat expansions in 2011. Stuart was (co-)author of more than 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals. Together with David Mann and Julie Snowden, he organized the 8th International Conference on Frontotemporal Dementia in 2012. Stuart was a well-known member of the ISFTD since its foundation. We will remember Stuart as a very friendly colleague with a strong commitment to research in frontotemporal dementia.
