Raymond W. Ruddon Jr., MD, PhD (1936-2019)

It is with tremendous sadness that we share the news of the passing of Dr. Ray Ruddon on Friday April 26, 2019. Dr. Ruddon was a giant in cancer pharmacology research, in the leadership of our department, and in the philanthropic support of Michigan Pharmacology. Even more than that, he was a stellar human being. We will truly miss him.
