Professor Ewa Osetowska was one of the most distinguished Polish neuropathologists. She was born in 1919. In 1958 she underwent training in Bunge Institute, Antwerp, working under the supervision of Prof. Ludo van Bogaert. This experience together with the inspiration of her Polish mentor, Prof. Adam Opalski, proved decisive for her following scientifi c career. In 1963 she became the head of the Neuropathology Department of the Polish Academy of Sciences. She put her effort into organizing work in this new and completely unknown in Poland fi eld of science. She assembled a group of people interested in the fi eld of neuropathology and inspired them to the scientifi c work and to the organization of their own laboratories in different towns of the country. Professor E. Osetowska promoted 20 PhD’s and 5 postdoctoral degrees. Among her students we can fi nd many of later prominent scientists, such as: Professor Mirosław J. Mossakowski–President of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Professor Henryk Wiśniewski – Director of the Institute for Basic Research in New York, Professor Maria Dambska, a renowned specialist in the fi eld of the development of the nervous system. At the age of 49, after long and severe illness, Professor. Ewa Osetowska passes away, leaving behind a stunning scientifi c legacy – altogether over 150 scientifi c publications in which clinical and neuropathological diagnosis was always a starting point for further search of the pathogenesis of the diseases.
