Professor Marcus Maurer (1966-2024)
We are devastated by the unimaginable and untimely passing of Professor Marcus Maurer, a giant in the angioedema/urticaria realm. Nobody could ever duplicate the vision, brilliance, determination, leadership, and special interpersonal skills that typified our dear colleague and friend.
Marcus was the driving force behind creating the GA2LEN & HAEi network of Angioedema Centers of Reference and Excellence (ACARE). The 102 ACARE centers throughout the globe serve as a testament to his belief in the benefit of establishing strong bonds between patients and the physicians who provide clinical care and conduct groundbreaking research.
Marcus held board certifications in Dermatology and Allergology and published over 850 articles and 55 books and chapters that made significant contributions to allergy research and treatment.
Among his many remarkable attributes, Marcus had an instinctual skill for collaboration and bringing out the best in the clinicians, scientists, and patient advocates he worked with. His legacy is the dramatic scientific and patient care improvements seen in the fields of angioedema and urticaria.
Our global HAEi community extends its heartfelt condolences to the Maurer family. Your mantra of “Never Giving Up” motivates us to continue moving forward despite our extreme sadness.
Words cannot express how much we will miss our beloved Marcus.
Your HAEi Family 🖤
