Established in 2004 in honor of Professor Ernest McCulloch and Professor James Till, this awardrecognizes junior scientists in the field of hematology and stem cells. The 2013 award recipient is Hanna Mikkola, University of California Los Angeles. To view the requirements for this award, please click here.
New Investigator Awards
Established in 1999, the New Investigator Awards support the work of ISEH junior investigators and acknowledge the need for the continual stimulation of new ideas and exciting avenues of investigation within the experimental hematology field. These awards are given on the basis of Annual Scientific Meeting presentations. New Investigator Awards are awarded based upon sponsorship fulfillment.
