is January 28 and we invite you to join us for a special day of events commemorating the birthday of Dr. Friedrich Lewy, whose discovery of Lewy bodies transformed the field of neurodegenerative disease.
At 11:00am ET, join us for “From Berlin to Breakthroughs: The Life of Dr. Lewy,” a special webinar with Dr. Patrick Emanuell Mesquita Sousa-Santos, will explore the lesser-known history of Dr. Lewy’s career, shaped by the sociopolitical forces of his time.
Later that day at 12:30pm ET, “The Lewy Convergence: Clinical Wisdom and Historical Reflection 2026” will take place in person and online. Hosted by the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, in collaboration with the Lewy Body Dementia Association, this hybrid symposium brings together leading international experts to reflect on Dr. Lewy’s enduring scientific legacy and examine innovations in diagnosis, management, and future research directions.
Separate registration required for each event. Register today at https://ow.ly/kcfs50XWYw9
“From Berlin to Breakthroughs: The Life of Dr. Lewy” is sponsored by GE Healthcare.
