“The death of Cullen Taniguchi is a huge, sudden loss to the field of oncology (and to pancreatic cancer research in particular).

Quoting the post by David Kirsch, Head of the Radiation Oncology Program at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre:

“Heartbroken to hear the devastating news that Cullen Taniguchi died suddenly. A brilliant physician-scientist in radiation oncology, who made impactful discoveries, was an inspiring mentor and elevated everyone around him. My condolences to his family and his friends and colleagues.”
