Raghu Kalluri, MD, PhD, chair of cancer biology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, received the Jacob-Henle Medal from the Georg-August University in Göttingen, Germany.
The Jacob-Henle Medal — named after an anatomist and physiologist whose work helped to lay the foundation for modern pathology — recognizes high-impact scientific achievements in physiology and medicine.
Kalluri was honored for his discoveries related to autoimmune and genetic kidney diseases, organ fibrosis and cancer biology. His research has led to new methods of diagnosis of kidney diseases, and identified diagnostic methods and therapy targets for fibrosis and cancer.
“This very prestigious award is given for truly outstanding, medically relevant scientific achievements,” Ethan Dmitrovsky, MD, provost and executive vice president at MD Anderson, said in a press release “It is no surprise that Dr. Kalluri was selected as he is a highly accomplished scientist. It is an honor well deserved.”
