Remembering NYSCF’s Friend, Mentor, and Board Member George Lazarus

The New York Stem Cell Foundation deeply mourns the loss of Dr. George M. Lazarus, beloved friend, esteemed pediatrician and mentor, and longtime member of our Board of Trustees. Together with his cherished wife Shelly, George was a passionate champion of stem cell research and a committed supporter of our pioneering organization. His medical expertise, his warmth, and his wisdom all helped build NYSCF from its early days, guiding us in our work to enable the most advanced stem cell research to accelerate cures for patients around the world. We will forever by inspired by his optimism, his humanism, and his commitment to our mission.

– Jennifer Raab, President; Roy Geronemus MD, Chair, and the Board of Trustees and Staff of NYSCF.
