In Memoriam Klaus Peter Juenemann

With heavy hearts, ISSM remembers the loss of a renowned expert and colleague in the field of Sexual Medicine, Klaus Peter Juenemann, who sadly passed away from a sudden heart attack on August 29, 2023. We hold his contributions dear and send our deepest sympathies to his family, friends, and colleagues during this challenging time.

Klaus Peter wasn't just a pioneer in Sexual Medicine; he was a passionate professional who pushed the boundaries of knowledge. He made significant research contributions during the early years in the eighties of the last century when he was working together with Tom Lue in San Francisco investigating the effects of papaverine and phentolamine in animals and was also the lead investigator for the prospective (papaverine/phentolamine) self-injection trial in Germany during the 1980s.

His key publication at this time was: Juenemann KP, Alken P. Pharmacotherapy of erectile dysfunction: a review. Int J Impotence Res 1989; 1: 71-93

His legacy, from groundbreaking research to advances in urology and incontinence therapy, will continue to inspire us.
