Passing of Prof. Arthur Bergen

It is with deep sadness that we recently learned of the sudden and unexpected passing of Professor Arthur Bergen from UMC Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Prof. Bergen was an outstanding member of the albinism research community. Throughout his career, he made significant contributions to advancing knowledge on albinism, particularly in relation to OA1.

He was among the keynote speakers of ISCA 2022.. His passion and perseverance were truly evident.

He will be deeply missed, as reflected in the numerous obituaries published online, such as the tribute released by the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience.
