It is with immense sadness that we announce that our friend, colleague, mentor, and inspiration, Prof. Esteban Cvitkovic, passed away unexpectedly on the morning of Friday June 20, 2025.
His brilliant mind, his passion, his drive not only for cancer research, teaching all those around him and above all his patients, but for every aspect of life, his boundless generosity, his inimitable humour, his endless energy, and his ability to bring joy have left an indelible mark on every one of us fortunate enough to have crossed his path.
We are forever grateful to him. He will be missed immeasurably.
Our thoughts are particularly with his family at this difficult time.
