As reported on a number of sites, including for example USA Today, Scientist shot dead next to young daughters on camping trip in California (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/06/25/scientist-shot-dead-camping-trip-daughters-california/729872002/), Tristan Beaudette, a young and highly regarded scientist at a major pharmaceutical, Allergan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allergan,_Inc.), was shot and killed in front of his two young daughters, while they were camping.
Tristan Beaudette had expertise in advanced drug delivery systems using polymers for treating autism and delivering anti-cancer vaccines. See for example this paper of his: In vivo studies on the effect of co-encapsulation of CpG DNA and antigen in acid-degradable microparticle vaccines (https://uncch.pure.elsevier.com/en/publications/in-vivo-studies-on-the-effect-of-co-encapsulation-of-cpg-dna-and-).
On his LinkedIn page (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tristan-beaudette-5882052/), which is still up as I post this, Tristin said of himself:
Skilled technical leader with over 7 years of industry experience in late stage pharmaceutical drug product development. Multidisciplinary scientific background with expertise in formulation, materials science, polymer chemistry, and pharmaceutical manufacturing technologies including extrusion, molding, and compression. Experienced in formulation and manufacturing process development of solid dosage forms, with broad expertise in sustained release drug delivery systems (bio-erodible and non-degradable) and combination products. Successful track record managing cross functional Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) teams to meet global project goals and milestones.
I have no knowledge of whether Tristan's killers had any knowledge of what work Tristan did ... but you can be assured that I have my suspicions.
