Rubin’s life has not been without challenges. In 2009, his wife was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He temporarily resigned from his professional responsibilities to seek cutting-edge treatments and experimental protocols nationwide. Collaborating with leading research institutions, he supported her through a decade of experimental therapies. Her resilience, combined with his unwavering faith and determination, made her the longest-living survivor of metastatic pancreatic cancer in history. After 15 years of fighting, she passed away in 2024, but their journey remains a testament to love, hope, and perseverance.
