Dr. David Nathan, who served as president of ASH in 1986, has made numerous contributions to academic medicine, including the development with Dr. Yuet Wai Kan and others of the first prenatal diagnostic test for thalassemia and sickle cell disease. Throughout his career, he has been a pioneer in pediatric hematology. His numerous honors include the Stratton Medal, which Dr. Nathan received in 1995. Dr. Nathan served as Physician-In-Chief at Children's Hospital Boston for 10 years before becoming president of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, where he is currently President Emeritus. He is also the Robert A. Stranahan Distinguished Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School.
Dr. Nathan will be speaking about his life's work and pioneering discoveries at one of the 2008 ASH Annual Meeting Pioneers in Hematology sessions.
We encourage you to honor Dr. Nathan by sharing your thoughts or stories through the Legends in Hematology Guestbook or by making a special gift to ASH. |
