Patrick Hwu: Saddened to Hear of the Passing of a Giant in Immunology – Dr. Zelig Eshhar

Patrick Hwu, President and CEO of Moffitt Cancer Center, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“I am saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Zelig Eshhar, a giant in the field of immunology. I was fortunate to work alongside Zelig at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) during the early days of CAR T cell research. I remember fondly many late nights in the lab together, running experiments that paved the way for using CAR T cells against cancer. Zelig was a true pioneer, a brilliant scientist, and a friend, and his impact will be felt for generations.”
