Specialist died before developing weapon

I had the Anaesthesia specialist from mission 10 in my staff but some time later he died due to injuries...

I still have some weapons that require his specialty to be developed, should I just replay mission 10 or is there another anaesthesia specialist elsewhere?

Yes, if you lost Malak, you need to replay mission 10 if you want to make use of his^* unique skills.

Replaying the mission allows you to bring him back (confirmed here and here).

There are a couple of causes that can make you lose (sight of) him:

• He was directly transferred to the sickbay.
• He was kicked out of a full waiting room.
• He got killed during combat deployment.

And here's another SE question dealing with Malak.

^{* At higher ranks he can be replaced by a similar NPC with a different name - like 'Cannibal Hog', apparently.}
