  Its with a heavy heart I regret to inform you of this letter I received regarding Maribel Rodriguez, a beloved person and world renowned researcher and treater in HCV, always completely dedicated to her patients, to care and research and dedicating her entire life to HCV and her patients and research. A horrible loss for us all who knew her, and her patients, and for the entire community. I knew Maribel for 18 years and I am so sorry.

Dear Jules
 
I regret to inform you and the Hepatitis C community, the physical departure of Dr. Maribel Rodriguez-Torres, a leader in the field. She was always defending the underrepresented communities and was a pioneer for the treatment of HIV-HCV patients with the latest medications.
 
Her death occurred last Monday December 28th of December.
 
Please inform the HCV community of this tremendous lost and have her in your thoughts.
 
Regards
