The PCCP Editorial team are very sad to learn that Jean-Pierre Schermann has recently passed away. We would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest sympathies to his family and friends.
Jean-Pierre Schermann was Emeritus Professor at the University of Paris 13 (Laboratoire de Physique des Lasers) and has made considerable impressive contributions to the scientific community in the field of spectroscopy and modeling of biomolecular structures.
We are certainly extremely grateful for his long-standing support of PCCP as an author, frequent referee and more recently as a Guest Editor of the PCCP themed issue series on biophysics and biophysical chemistry, including the very recent themed issue on nanobiology:
