It is with profound sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Professor Richard Scolyer AO, an extraordinary clinician, researcher, advocate, and friend of Chris O’Brien Lifehouse.
Richard will be remembered as one of Australia’s most influential cancer researchers, his relentless pursuit of scientific discovery, and his commitment to collaboration. He changed the lives of countless patients and families, and helped position Australia as a global leader in cancer research.
We have been deeply moved by the extraordinary outpouring of support, with over $281,000 donated in Richard’s honour. These kind donations will support research through the Richard Scolyer Chair in Brain Cancer Research, which will inspire future generations of researchers working to accelerate discoveries, expand clinical trials, and improve outcomes for people diagnosed with brain cancer.
On behalf of everyone at Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, thank you to everyone who donated, and for honouring Richard’s memory in such a meaningful way. He leaves behind an extraordinary legacy. It lives on through the lives he changed, the discoveries he advanced, the researchers he inspired, and the future he helped shape for generations to come.
May he rest in peace.
