Support Philip's family and his newborn son!

Dear Friends,

Many of your have already heard about the sudden loss of our great friend and colleague, Dr. Philip Gurnev.  This tragedy has devastated us all.  Philip and his wife Lena delivered a beautiful baby boy on Aug. 2 and just returned home (to their newly purchased apartment) from hospital two days ago.

Please consider making a monetary donation to help Lena with living and funeral expenses.

It is unknown at this time the amount of support Lena and the baby will need, so we prefer not to set a limited goal.  However, any assistance of any kind will be greatly appreciated at this tragic time.

If you are local and prefer to donate in person, please contact Sergey Bezrukov, NIH, Bldg. 29B, Room 1H16C, he is currently collecting donations as well. I know, many have already donated; many thanks for your generosity! 

We would appreciate you sharing this message with any other Philip’s friends that are not listed here.

Please keep Philip’s family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you in advance,

Katia Nestorovich (for all the former and current Adrian/Bezrukov’s lab members)
