Description
Donald McDonnell writes in memory of Bert O'Malley, a leader in hormone research who died in November 2025 at age eighty eight. His 2026 piece traces a career spent mostly at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. O'Malley led the college's cell biology department, which he built into a powerhouse. He also served as its chancellor.
Born in Pittsburgh, he took degrees in psychology, chemistry, and medicine there. Training took him to Duke and to a national cancer institute. In 1969 he helped set up a center for reproductive hormone work at Vanderbilt. He moved to Baylor in 1973. He led the Endocrine Society in 1984 and co-founded a flagship journal in the field. Many awards mark his work and his mentoring.
