The American Society of Hematology will honor Whitehead Institute Founding Member Harvey Lodish with its Wallace H. Coulter Award for Lifetime Achievement in Hematology. 

Whitehead Institute Founding Member Harvey Lodish was co-recipient of the 2021 MITx Prize for Teaching and Learning in MOOCs, and Whitehead Institute Member Sebastian Lourido has been named as one of the Burroughs Wellcome Fund’s 2021 Investigators in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease. 

Founding Member Harvey Lodish has been twice honored by the international science community for his path-breaking scientific accomplishments and intellectual leadership.

This  highest award of the International Society for Experimental Hematology honors a scientist who has made outstanding contributions to basic science in the fields of hematology, immunology, stem cell research, and cell and gene therapy. 

Vijay Sankaran is an associate professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, interim chief and an attending physician in hematology and oncology at Boston Children’s Hospital and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and an associate member of Broad Institute.
