With heavy hearts, we share this page on behalf of the Loureiro family—most especially for Nuno’s three daughters, whose lives were forever changed by this sudden and devastating tragedy. Nuno Loureiro was not only a brilliant scientist and a dear friend, but also a deeply devoted husband and father who cared profoundly about his daughters’ futures, their education, and the opportunities he worked tirelessly to provide for them.

Nuno and his wife built a family life rooted in love and stability, one filled with laughter and joy, learning and growth. But it was tragically cut short by a senseless act of violence that has robbed his family of the precious time and resources needed to continue guiding, supporting, and providing for their daughters.

We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support, kindness, and solidarity from friends, colleagues, and the broader community during this unimaginably difficult time. Many of you have asked what you can do, so we created this GoFundMe to help bridge this unexepected gap—to support the girls’ education in the years ahead and to ease the immediate financial burdens facing the family during this unimaginable loss.

Any contribution, no matter the size, is an act of love, and we are deeply grateful for your support. Please consider sharing this page with friends, colleagues, or networks to help spread awareness and support for the Loureiro family.
