Jørgen Philip-Sørensen
1938-2010
It was with sadness that we received notification of the death of Jørgen Philip-Sørensen, the founder of the European Centre of Allergy Research Foundation (ECARF). Over the last years, Philip was a constant, passionate and reliable advisor and a generous benefactor to the activities of ECARF. We shall remember him as a man with great goals and visions, always ready to work hard to make it happen.
Our thoughts are with his family.
