A giant in oncology, Felix Feng transformed the prostate cancer program and translational research at UCSF, mentoring the next generation of scientists who will find cures for cancer. For years, he chaired the genitourinary cancer committee of NRG Oncology, a national clinical trials group, and built a network of research collaborators around the world who became his work family, supporting each other toward the common goal of ending deaths from cancer. As an entrepreneur, he co-founded Artera, aimed at individualizing cancer treatments for each patient.
Felix’s warmth, generosity, and unwavering commitment to those around him have left an indelible mark on all who knew him. He had an extraordinary ability to make every person feel seen and valued, always truly present and giving of himself in ways that left others feeling like they were the most important person in the world.
Felix’s legacy will endure, not only through his groundbreaking work and scientific contributions but through the countless lives he touched, inspired, and shaped. As a mentor, he guided many with wisdom and kindness, helping others to reach their fullest potential. As a family member and friend, he was a pillar of support, always offering love, compassion, and encouragement.
Though he is no longer with us, his spirit lives on in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him. We will miss him deeply, but his influence and example will continue to guide us.
