After 5 years of service, Professor Frank-Erik de Leeuw has stepped down from the Row Fogo Scientific Advisory Board. Frank-Erik has been a highly valued board member over the last 5 years and has helped the Row Fogo Centre to become established. With the rest of the board members, Frank-Erik has helped to ensure the Centre's success in various activities and helped to shape policy. He has also helped guide the University in the future direction of the Centre. We extend our thanks to Frank-Erik and for his contribution to our success. However, we are pleased to announce that Professor Geert Jan Biessels has now joined the board. His area of expertise is vascular cognitive impairment and small vessel disease with a particular focus on MRI markers. Geert Jan is based at UMC Utrecht and a valuable addition to the Board. Welcome Geert Jan.
