Dr. Michael Beck, Mainz GE, MPS-focused physician has passed

September , 2022: It is with great sadness that we share, Dr. Michael Beck, based in Mainz GE passed away suddenly yesterday. Carmen Kunkel from the German MPS Society reached out to me earlier this morning. Dr. Beck has served the MPS Community of GE and abroad for over four decades. He retired from the Children’s Hospital in Mainz, GE. Most recently, many of you may have met Dr. Beck at our 2018 International Symposium, as he presented on the topic: Management II – Next Generation Treatments/Combination Therapies and Advancing Clinical Trials during the Science Sessions. In  2012, Dr. Beck was honored at the Netherlands conference with the Life for MPS Award in 2012.
