Lawrence B. Faulkner, MD, will receive the CIBMTR Distinguished Service Award, which recognizes an individual who made outstanding contributions to the organization’s research mission in at least one of the following areas: promoting hematopoietic cell transplantation research and clinical care in developing countries, advancing the field despite unique challenges, expanding transplantation availability, disseminating research results to clinicians and patients to improve outcomes and quality of life, or collaboration with organizations to increase research and data exchange.
Faulkner — medical advisory board coordinator for Cure2Children Foundation — specializes in pediatric hematology-oncology and stem cell transplantation.
Helen E. Heslop, MD, DSc (hon), will deliver the Mortimer M. Bortin Lecture.
Lecturers are selected on the basis of their contributions to the understanding of graft-versus-tumor effects and/or the advancement of clinical hematopoietic cell transplantation research.
Heslop is interim director of Dan L. Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center, director of Center for Cell and Gene Therapy and professor in the department of medicine and pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine.
