Professor Richard Scolyer AO
1966–2026
Today we remember an incredible and humble Australian whose groundbreaking work transformed melanoma treatment through immunotherapy, changing lives and reshaping cancer care around the world.
When faced with his own diagnosis of glioblastoma, Richard became a pioneer once again. Drawing on lessons learned from melanoma research, he helped advance a world first approach to brain cancer treatment, helping launch further glioblastoma clinical trials.
The team at Peace of Mind Foundation extends deep condolences to Richard's family, friends, colleagues, and all those whose lives he touched.
Rest in peace, Richard. The impact of your work will never be forgotten.
