François Pierre Emmanuel Grémy, honorary professor at the Montpellier-Nîmes Faculty of Medicine, Officer of the Légion d’Honneur, died on July 22, 2014 at the age of 85 after a rich professional and socially engaged life. François Grémy was born on March 3, 1929 in Neuilly sur Seine, west of Paris. Having completed his college degree at the age of 16, he vacillated between a purely scientific career and a medical one and finally chose to follow a dual education. At the age of 19, having completed two master degrees in mathematics and in physics, he immediately started his medical studies at the Medical Faculty of Paris. At the age of 23, he passed the Paris resident fellows’ competitive examination, the “Internat de Paris”, started clinical work in neuro-physiology, and defended in 1958 his MD thesis on the oscillographic study of dysarthria. In 1958, at the age of 29, he was appointed as tenured professor in biophysics at the Faculty of Medicine of Tours. He was the youngest professor of medicine of his generation. Two years later in 1960, he was appointed tenured professor in biophysics at the Pitié-Salpêtrière School of Medicine in Paris, where he stayed 23 years until 1983.
