Profesor Janusz Szymaś był autorem wielu prac naukowych oraz pionierem telediagnostyki w Polsce.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Professor Janusz Szymaś, a distinguished specialist in the fields of pathology and neuropathology, on October 10, 2025, after a long illness.

He served for many years as the President of the Association of Polish Neuropathologists and was a member of the Polish Society of Pathologists. He was also the former Head of the Neurosurgical Pathology Laboratory at the Department of Pathological Anatomy of the Poznań University of Medical Sciences.

Professor Janusz Szymaś was the author of numerous scientific publications and a pioneer of telediagnostics in Poland.

Profesor Paweł Liberski był światowej klasy specjalistą w dziedzinie chorób prionowych, autorem ponad 670 publikacji naukowych, promotorem wielu prac doktorskich i habilitacyjnych, cenionym wykładowcą oraz mentorem. Jego dorobek naukowy i wkład w rozwój medycyny pozostaną trwałym śladem w historii polskiej nauki. Łączymy się w bólu z Rodziną i Bliskimi, składając najszczersze wyrazy współczucia.
