Joel Llopiz

It is with great sorrow that we share the news that our dear colleague, Joel Llopiz, passed away this past Monday.

Joel joined WHOI and the Biology Department in 2010 as a postdoctoral scholar, became a member of the scientific staff in 2012, and received tenure in 2023. He was a deeply valued member of our Institution and touched the lives of many in profound and lasting ways. Joel faced his illness with remarkable courage and grace. His warmth, kindness, and smile will be held close in our hearts.

Additional details will be shared as they become available. Our thoughts are with Joel’s family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.
