Linda M. Liau, MD, PhD, MBA, received the Abhijit Guha Award in recognition of her work treating brain tumors.
The award — sponsored jointly by Society for Neuro-Oncology, the Joint Section on Tumors of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons — is presented to an outstanding clinician who has an active research laboratory and has played an active role in the mentorship of neuro-oncology professionals.
Liau is chair of the neurosurgery department at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, as well as a neurosurgeon-scientist at UCLA’s Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Her research efforts have focused on advancing treatment for glioblastoma. Her work with dendritic cells led to one of the first personalized vaccines for this type of brain tumor.
