Raymond U Obituary
December 27, 1936 - June 24, 2016
Cary
Dr. Raymond U passed away on June 24, 2016 in Raleigh, NC at age 79. He was born in Korea in 1936 and, in the wake of the Korean War, came to the United States alone with the help of Presbyterian missionaries. He graduated from Northern Illinois University and later received his Ph.D. in biology, focusing on radiation genetics, from Kyoto University in Kyoto, Japan.
He spent his life in clinical cancer research, first at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, then as an assistant professor at Duke University School of Medicine and later as the director of hyperthermia oncology clinical research at the Rex Cancer Center in Raleigh before retiring in 2003.
He is survived by his wife Anne Nobuko U, who continues to reside in Cary, as well as his son Edwin and grandchildren Caroline and Sloane in Washington, DC.

I worked with Raymond U at Duke University and again at Rex Hospital where my company, Triangle Research and Development Corporation, installed the Thermatron RF-8 Hyperthermia Equipment that we had earlier secured during a trip to Japan under one of my grants from HHS. He was a very good friend and colleague that I will always remember as a hard-working and friendly associate who pioneered cancer hyperthermia in North Carolina.
