Alicia Requena-Jimenez

In Loving Memory of

Alicia joined the University in 2004 as a Masters student. From 2006-2011 she was research technician and then senior research technician in the Maternal and Fetal Health Group at St Marys Hospital, working with Jo Glazier. Her work on folate transport across the placenta led her to join my lab. and carry out her doctoral studies on cerebral folate in the hydrocephalic rat model of this condition. She continued as a postdoc in the lab. until the present time devising ingenious methods to look at folate transport across the arachnoid membrane as well as learning how to analyse large proteomics data sets and publishing her last paper during her illness demonstrating a profound change in cerebrospinal fluid proteome in hydrocephalus. She was passionate about her research and taking it forward herself. She was much admired for her innovative research approaches and her enquiring mind. She will be sorely missed by us and all who knew her as a friend and colleague. We send our deepest condolences to her husband Simon and all her family from Spain.

I had the pleasure of working in MFH when Alicia was with Jo and remember her kindness, humour and passion for her science. When she started her PhD we ended up at the same conference in Leipzig on B vitamins. I was a new PhD student attending alone and she was with another postdoc. As was typical of Alicia she immediately invited me to join them for meals and coffee breaks and her warmth and kindness transformed the whole experience for me. She was one of those genuinely lovely people. My deepest sympathy to Simon, all her family, friends and colleagues on your loss. …

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Alicia. I have many fond memories of working with Alicia when I was a post-doc and Alicia was a research technician working on the same project. I will always remember her hard work, diligence and good humour and give my deepest sympathies to her family and friends. A tragically early and very sad loss. …

The loss of such a talented person, a natural and gifted biologist and neuroscientist and a teacher, is a trajedy hard to bear. Worse than that is the loss of a true friend with a clear head and ability to help others. So many plans to bring the research to the world. Such a horrible illness to take her away from us.Rest in peace dear Alicia. The Islamic saying is “To God we belong and to Him is our return”. Waiting to join you in your new lab. Jaleel …
