Johanna Quandt was an extraordinary philanthropist whose legacy continues to shape research and medicine. Yesterday, we honored what would have been her 100th birthday at an evening symposium at Universitätsmedizin Frankfurt, held in the presence of her son, Stefan Quandt.
I was deeply moved by the personal stories shared by cancer survivors who have benefited from the cutting-edge treatment advances made possible through Johanna Quandt’s support.
Together with Sharmili Edwin Thanarajah and Katharina Welling, I had the pleasure of representing the Johanna Quandt Young Academy @Goethe, through whose members’ program I receive funding. By presenting our research, we also highlighted that children’s mental health is a crucial area that deserves greater attention and future investment.
