Charles (Bernie) Carpenter passed away on Friday, September 30, 2011. Dr. Carpenter was a 1958 graduate of Harvard Medical School. Following his internship and residency in New York and a brief stint in the U.S. Navy, Dr. Carpenter returned to Boston in 1962 to be trained in nephrology by Dr. John P. Merrill at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital.
Dr. Carpenter was a founding member of the Transplantation Society, the American Society of Nephrology, the American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics, and the American Society of Transplantation. He served as President of the latter two organizations. Dr. Carpenter was the 2004 recipient of the John P. Peters Award of the American Society of Nephrology and the 2005 recipient of the David Hume Award of the National Kidney Foundation.
Dr. Carpenter’s research was focused on studying the molecular targets for the immune response to transplanted tissues. He trained over 60 postdoctoral fellows in his lab, many of whom are now leaders in academic nephrology.
We will all miss this giant of a man who was an extraordinary mentor and a pioneering leader of Transplantation Nephrology.
