A native of Iowa, Hobbs, 44, received his doctorate from the University of Iowa and conducted research in immunology at Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, Calif., in 1982-95 before coming to Ann Arbor. He was a leading researcher in the relationship of immunology and the aging process. He excelled in helping young scientists establish careers and is remembered for the breadth of his reading and his delight in long conversations, good wine and jazz.
