Sad news of the passing of Maki Inada
It is with deep sadness that we share news of the passing of Maki Inada, former Associate Professor of Biology, on September 15, 2026.
Maki was an outstanding faculty member during her time at IC. She was responsible for a major reworking of the Biochemistry major and developed the first course-based research labs for the introductory biology course that has become an integral part of our curriculum for Biology and Biochemistry majors. Her research on molecular biology helped multiple students begin careers in research and medicine.
