“I am deeply saddened about Dr. Parsa’s passing, it really hit me,” said Dr. Ayguen Sahin, M.Sc., Ph.D, brain cancer and immunotherapy researcher and Founder and CEO of Cancer Research Simplified (CRS), a Boston-based, global cancer education non-profit. “Not only did I know him in person due to our mutual research field in GBM and immunotherapy, he was also one of CRS’s subscribers and dedicated, very close followers. He will be truly missed in the field of cancer immunotherapy for brain cancer and as a renowned neurosurgeon.”
