The Marseille Cancer Research Center celebrates its 50th anniversary ! -

Dear colleagues,

We received some terrible news on Saturday. Our colleague and friend Daniel Birnbaum passed away this weekend.

I have taken the liberty of transmitting the condolences of the CRCM and IPC staff to his family.

Daniel was my thesis supervisor in 1992-95 and recruited me as an Inserm researcher in his team in 1998.

As a medical doctor and scientist, he brought a lot to our center, our hospital and beyond. Daniel left us a legacy of major contributions to our understanding of molecular anomalies in cancer, and will have left his mark on generations of researchers through his strong personality and passion for research, for the patients.

I loved Daniel very much and I’m very sad.
