I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family, loved ones, and colleagues of Professor Nick White, a cherished Professor of Tropical Medicine at @UniofOxford and @MahidolU. Nick was not just an exceptional scholar; he was a guiding light and mentor to many, including myself. His unwavering passion for addressing the challenges posed by malaria and his commitment to finding solutions have profoundly impacted countless lives. The legacy he leaves behind is profound, as his leadership and groundbreaking research in malaria and infectious diseases continue to save lives today and will surely benefit generations to come. Nick's spirit will always remain in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him.
