UCSF Mourns the Loss of Herb Sandler
June 7, 2019 | By Lindsay Boeger
Herbert Sandler, a longtime advocate of UC San Francisco’s basic science and neurosciences research efforts, passed away this week at age 87. Sandler is survived by his children, James and Susan.
“Herb was a passionate supporter of interdisciplinary science at UCSF whose leadership and counsel will be greatly missed,” noted UCSF Chancellor Sam Hawgood, MBBS. “We were tremendously fortunate to benefit from his and his late wife Marion’s belief in the power and importance of biomedical science and their willingness to support some of our most innovative projects over the past five decades.”
