With deep sorrow, we bid farewell to Professor Dr. Michael P. Manns, former President of Hannover Medical School (MHH) and esteemed Founding Supervisory Board Member of CAIMed.

Professor Manns was a deeply respected physician, an internationally recognized researcher, and a visionary leader. His pioneering work on liver diseases – particularly viral hepatitis, autoimmune liver disorders, hepatocellular carcinoma, transplant medicine, and regenerative medicine – set new standards in the field. Through his unwavering dedication to medical science and education, he shaped the future of medicine and inspired generations of colleagues and students.

We remember him not only for his brilliance and integrity, but also for his humanity and his tireless commitment to innovation in research and patient care.

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family, colleagues, and all who were privileged to work with him. His impact and legacy will endure.
