Taubman Scholar Dr. David Ginsburg to receive Stratton Medal
The American Society of Hematology (ASH) will recognize David Ginsburg, M.D., with the 2012 Henry M. Stratton Medal for his accomplishments in the fields of thrombosis and blood cell immunology.
Dr. Ginsburg is a Taubman Scholar and the James V. Neel Distinguished Professor of Internal Medicine and 
Human Genetics at the University of Michigan Medical School.
The Stratton Medal is named after the late Henry Maurice Stratton, co-founder of Grune and Stratton, the medical publishing house that first published ASH’s journal Blood. The prize honors senior investigators whose contributions to hematology are well-recognized and have taken place over a period of several years.
This year, for the first time, the Stratton Medal will be awarded to two individuals, one in basic research and the other in clinical/translational research. Ginsburg will receive the 2012 Stratton Medal for Basic Research for his many seminal scientific contributions in characterizing the molecular and genetic basis of inherited bleeding and clotting disorders. Dr. Richard H. Aster, M.D., of the Blood Center of Wisconsin and Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee will receive the 2012 Stratton Medal for Clinical/Translational Research.
