With sadness, the Marine Biological Laboratory notes the passing of Dr. Chandler Montgomery Fulton on February 21, 2026.

Dr. Fulton studied at Brown University in the 1950’s and later earned a PhD from the Rockefeller Institute. He was a member of the biology faculty at Brandeis for over sixty years.

His association with the MBL started with a teaching assistantship, and he participated in the Embryology class (1956) and was also involved with the Physiology course (2012) in addition to becoming an MBL Corporation member.
