Luiz Rodolpho Raja Gabaglia Travassos, MD, PhD was a world-class microbiologist and cell biologist whose contributions to science were remarkable at multiple levels and across diverse fields. Besides being responsible for the creation of a scientific school that contributed to the transmission of multidisciplinary knowledge through several generations in Brazil and abroad, Professor Travassos was a pioneer in the fields of Microbiology, Glycobiology, Mycology, Parasitology, and Cancer Biology. To fully measure his contribution to science is an impossible task. We, some of his former students, post-docs, and collaborators, will illustrate the joy of having Professor Travassos as a mentor and friend through highlighting some of his breakthroughs in the fields of microbial physiology, infection, and cancer biology immersed in backstage stories of how he influenced so many people in many aspects of life. We hope that our future scientific generations and all who are passionate about discovery will see Travassos as an inspiration and example of a love for science.
Luiz Rodolpho Raja Gabaglia Travassos，医学博士，博士，是一位世界级的微生物学家和细胞生物学家，他的贡献在多个层面和多个领域都非常显著。除了负责创建一个科学学派，通过多代人在巴西和国外传播多学科知识外，Travassos 教授还是微生物学、糖生物学、真菌学、寄生虫学和癌症生物学领域的先驱。要全面衡量他对科学的贡献是不可能的。我们，他的一些前学生、博士后和合作者，将通过突出他在微生物生理学、感染和癌症生物学领域的一些突破，并讲述他如何在生活的许多方面影响了这么多人的幕后故事，来展示拥有 Travassos 教授作为导师和朋友的乐趣。我们希望我们未来的科学世代和所有热衷于发现的人都能将 Travassos 视为对科学的热爱的灵感和榜样。
