In Memoriam: Felix Feng, MD
This week, UCSF lost a cherished friend and colleague with the passing of Felix Feng, MD, from cancer. We offer our deepest condolences to Felix’s family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Since joining UCSF in 2016, Felix held numerous leadership roles that advanced our mission and strengthened our institution. He was a George and Judy Marcus Distinguished Professor; a Professor of Radiation Oncology, Urology and Medicine; Vice Chair for Translational Research in the UCSF Department of Radiation Oncology; Director, Benioff Initiative for Prostate Cancer Research; Associate Director for Translational Clinical Research; and Co-Leader, Prostate Cancer Program, UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Felix’s vision, dedication, and commitment inspired colleagues, peers everywhere, and patients. He embodied the very essence of our mission at the cancer center: to push the boundaries of science, deliver compassionate care, and make a lasting difference in the lives of patients and their families, and those he mentored. His legacy will live on through the many lives he touched and the impact of his work.
