Maria was a very kind, compassionate, brilliant and beautiful soul who lit up the room and enriched the lives of all of those she met. She will be profoundly missed but certainly never forgotten. 😔💔

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the untimely passing of Maria Becerra (Maria Becerra), a beloved member of our MSK Urology family. Maria was a research fellow with us for two years after which she began her residency in urology at the University of Miami.

Excited to share our experience at MSKCC.
Aside from an incredible education, having co-fellows is a huge plus. These guys are crazy smart, hard working, and above all else - kind, hilarious, and totally committed.. I learn from them every day. My NY family here!

Come check us out. Incredible breadth of research opportunities and unmatched clinical volume.
