Back in 1964, Dr. Stevo Julius (1929-2025) left his home in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, emigrating to the United States to take up a position in the University of Michigan health system. Upon his death 60 years later, he left behind a substantial legacy. Among the highlights: research breakthroughs on hypertension and metabolic syndrome that helped establish the university as a global leader in cardiovascular research; a research professorship in his name to honor these achievements; a thriving family and a scientific community nurtured over many decades by Julius and his wife, Susan; and a personal history of fighting fascism in his youth as a Jewish member of the Partisan movement during World War II.
