It is with great sadness that we are letting you know about the passing of our dear colleague and friend Dr. Maria Spatz, who died on January 27th, 2024 at the age of 99 after a long illness. With Maria’s passing, we have lost a pioneering female scientist in brain barriers research who shaped the present field with her foundational work over many decades during the latter half of the 20th century up until the early 2000s.
It is extremely difficult to have to announce the sudden, unexpected passing of our close friend and colleague Dr. Danica Stanimirovic on January 17, 2024 at the age of 61.
