What a beautiful, heartfelt day of remembrance in honour of Dr. John B. Mulliken. Colleagues, patients, and friends came together to share their treasured memories of our dearly loved JBM. In tribute, Harvard Medical School lowered its flag at the Medical Quad to half-mast, a touching gesture reflecting the profound impact he had on so many lives.

What a great #ESVM (#European Society of Vascular Medicine) and #VASCERN session in Lausanne.

VASCERN: The ERN on rare multisystemic vascular diseases on Reels

It was a great annual #Crick #Rare Disease Conference 2026. Learned so much new, made novel contacts, and of course, discussed #precision #therapies for #vascular, and more specifically, #lymphatic anomalies. Organised by @Veronica K. #VASCERN #vascapa #hevas #eurordis #CMTC

Laurence and I were honoured to participate in the vascular anomaly session at the French Academy of Medicine on 2 February 2026, organised by Prof. Anne Dompmartin. Our presentations were dedicated to our late Mentor, Dr John B. Mulliken.
