Richard Scolyer Has Died

Pioneering Australian cancer researcher Richard Scolyer, co-director of Melanoma Institute Australia and 2024 Australian of the Year alongside Professor Georgina Long, has died aged 59 three years after being diagnosed with an aggressive glioblastoma. Scolyer underwent a world-first experimental pre-surgery immunotherapy treatment developed with Long; their joint work on melanoma immunotherapy drastically improved global survival rates for advanced melanoma patients, and his case has spurred an early-stage clinical trial in the US.
