2008 APSA Annual Meeting

Attendees from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine pose for a group picture with 2008-2009 President-Elect David Braun and 2007-2008 AAMC Chair Dr. Robert Desnick, MD, PhD

 

Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award goes to Brian Druker, MD, Nicholas Lydon, PhD, and Charles Sawyers, MD

For the development of molecularly-targeted treatments for chronic myeloid leukemia, converting a fatal cancer into a manageable chronic condition.  The 2009 Lasker~DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award honors three scientists who developed novel treatments for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) that converted this fatal cancer into a manageable chronic condition. By targeting the molecular underpinnings of this disease, Brian J. Druker (Oregon Health & Science University), Nicholas B. Lydon (formerly, Novartis), and Charles L. Sawyers (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center) broke new ground in cancer therapy and radically altered the prognosis of CML patients.
