One of our youngest EOM members Dr. Dennis Wilken tragically passed away

Dennis was an extraordinary lung physician currently starting his new academic carrier and additional education in occupational medicine in Berlin. He was a very engaged empathic medical doctor and talented scientist focusing his research on occupational asthma and asbestos-related disorders. We will all miss him.

With heartfelt sympathy to his family and loved ones from EOM board and EOMsociety members.
