The Brain Cancer Group mourns the passing of Professor Richard Scolyer AO, one of Australia’s most respected medical researchers and a tireless advocate for cancer research.
Professor Scolyer’s extraordinary contribution to melanoma and brain cancer research, combined with the courage and openness with which he faced his own glioblastoma diagnosis, inspired patients, families, clinicians and researchers across Australia and around the world.
We extend our sincere condolences to his wife Dr Katie Nicoll, their children, family, friends and colleagues.
His legacy will continue to shape the future of brain cancer research and care for many years to come.
