In Memoriam Rudolf Jordaan

On Friday, September 27th, a memorial service will be held to honor and celebrate the life of Rudolf (Ru) Jordaan. Instead of sending flowers or other gifts, the family would appreciate donations to Stichting ADORE, a foundation with which they have a strong personal connection and have supported since its inception. 

ADORE stands for Amsterdam Oncology and Neuroscience Research. It is a bold, new approach to scientific medical research based on exploring the parallels between oncological and neurological diseases. ADORE means research with international ambitions, performed in an outstanding building equipped with unique scientific technology and infrastructure. ADORE is a collaboration between two leading research institutes of the largest university medical center in the Netherlands, Amsterdam University Medical Centers, namely Cancer Center Amsterdam and Amsterdam Neuroscience, involving more than 2.000 researchers. In this collaboration, our cancer and neuroscience researchers join forces to discover new insights and accelerate the development of new treatments for people suffering from cancer and nervous system diseases such as Alzheimer’s or Multiple Sclerosis, which can have an enormous impact on patient’s lives and their loved ones.
