Longtime biology professor dies unexpectedly

Longtime biology professor Robert Gross died Sunday after a heart attack. He was 68.

Gross, who joined the College’s faculty in 1977, researched computational molecular biology and gene regulation.

He closely followed Dartmouth’s men’s hockey team and was interested in music and photography, dean of the faculty Michael Mastanduno said in an email to campus on Monday afternoon.

A memorial for Gross will take place on March 10 at 12:30 p.m. in Rollins Chapel.
