In Memoriam

In Memory of Professor Renzo Galanello

Written by Dr. Michael Spino

On May 13, 2013, at 1:00 a.m., Dr. Renzo Galanello lost his battle with cancer, diagnosed only seven months earlier. The members of the International BioIron Society express their most heart-felt condolences to his family and friends. We grieve the loss of Renzo with his wife, Maria-Antonietta, his daughter, Giulia, and his sons Giacomo and Giovanni.

Dr. Galanello was the professor of pediatrics at the University of Cagliari and appointed as the director of the 2nd Pediatric Clinic, department of biomedical sciences and biotechnologies at the University of Cagliari, Ospedale Regionale per le Microcitemie, succeeding the renowned Professor Antonio Cao. Prof. Galanello was an accomplished scientist, a caring physician and a humble and sincere man. His integrity was known to all.
