Who is Dr. Marnie Rose?
Marnie was a 28-year old pediatric resident at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth when she passed away from what is considered one of the deadliest forms of human cancers, a glioblastoma. Marnie died on Aug 23, 2002. Marnie's mission was to put a human face to brain cancer and to give strength and optimism to those who were ill. She succeeded beyond her wildest expectations and made us all better people for having known her.
