The Friends of José Carreras International Leukaemia Foundation agreed to its dissolution and to use the funds, more than one million dollars, to create a professorship among the members of the clinical research division at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (Hutch) in Seattle, for five-year tenure periods. In 2018 this professorship was awarded to Dr. Geoffrey Hill, a world-renowned haematologist from Brisbane, Australia. Dr. Hill is also director of the Hutch Haematopoietic Cell Transplant Programme.
