The Society is saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Jeanette Erdmann. Jeanette was a cardiogeneticist, who completed her doctorate at the University of Cologne. At the time of her death, she was DZHK Professor and Director of the Institute for Cardiogenetics at the University of Lübeck, where her team aimed to gain a better understanding of the genetic causes of cardiovascular disease, using bioinformatical and genetic epidemiological methods in cell and animal models. In addition to this, Jeanette established a research group at the Institute to develop therapeutic strategies for COL6-CMD, a rare neuromuscular disease with which she had been diagnosed. Jeanette had acted as a Senior Editor for The Journal of Physiology since 2022, and will be missed by all those who worked with her.
