Michaela Diamant, MD, PhD, FRCPE, a distinguished clinician scientist who led the diabetes and endocrinology department at the VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, has died at the age of just 51, from a rare cancer.
"She was one of the rising stars of European clinical diabetology. We were deeply shocked that she died at such a young age," Viktor Jörgens, MD, executive director of European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), told Medscape Medical News.
Dr. Diamant had "a brilliant publication record" and "was one of the most prominent young clinical researchers in Europe, with a worldwide impact," he added. "She would have been a candidate one day for president of the EASD."
