I met Marcus when I was working as marketing manager for omalizumab at Novartis in Germany. It was in the fall of 2008 when we saw the results of the X-CUISITE study, the first large study to investigate omalizumab in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria. The results were absolutely impressive. From that day on, Marcus went in and out of Novartis in Basel and did everything he could to ensure that Novartis applied for approval for omalizumab in this indication. He was the one who convinced one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies to initiate the indication expansion. It is absolutely fair to say that without him there would not be this important treatment option available that is helping thousands of patients around the world. It is beyond imagination that Marcus is no longer physically with us. His soul is immortal and will forever inspire everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. Marcus showed us that true purpose and passion can move mountains. My thoughts are with his family and the amazing Charité team.
