  We mourn the loss of Duska Dragun
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Professor Duska Dragun, who died on the 28.12.2020 at the age of only 51, after a long illness. She will be remembered for her commitment in support of clinician scientists. She was instrumental in establishing the 'Friedrich Luft' Clinical Scientist Pilot Programme within the framework of the 'young Charité' in 2011 and was a key figure in securing the BSRT's second funding period, in which the Clinician Scientist Track played an important role. Her dedication developed these initial ideas into the Clinician Scientist Programme within the BIH Academy that nowadays serves as the role model for the whole of Germany. Her tireless efforts to promote and support clinician scientists in their career paths will be greatly missed. Click here for the BIH commemoration page
