In Memoriam webinar Jouni Uitto ¦ Progress in PXE Research: Milestones and breakthroughs

This special webinar is dedicated to the memory of Jouni Uitto, who died unexpectedly last year. Jouni has made considerable contributions in many fields of dermatology, in particular in the ectopic calcification disease pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). During this webinar, several people who worked with Jouni will highlight the milestones and breakthroughs in PXE (Read more below the photograph).
