I was lucky to have to worked in partnership with Peter, on several remarkable academic programs here at Thomas Jefferson University. Peter was as kind and warm as he was accomplished and talented.

I first met Prof Kopelman at a summer event at St George’s Hospital in 2012 and he was so gracious and encouraging of my studies. He really cared for St George’s and its students. It was an honour to shake his hand at my graduation from St George’s University of London in 2015 as …

I was thinking about my time in London (2004-2006), thought about Professor Kopelman and was saddened to read of his passing when I looked him up. I was an Aussie working in London and was fortunate enough to be appointed as Professor Kopelman’s EA for a short time. He was such a gentleman and …
