The International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH), an international medical and scientific professional Society advancing the understanding, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of thrombosis and hemostasis, announces the ISTH 2024 Congress will be hosted in Bangkok, Thailand for the first time on June 22-26, 2024, at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center. The ISTH Congress is the largest international annual meeting in the fields of thrombosis, hemostasis, and vascular biology. It promotes important scientific discourse and findings to improve the lives of patients globally through an extensive lineup of educational sessions, poster and oral communications, state-of-the-art lectures, medical industry exhibits and professional networking opportunities.
The ISTH awards are targeted specifically to early career investigators who have demonstrated excellence in research. They aim to strengthen fundamental research by supporting innovative ideas of the next generation of scientists in the field by recognizing a high potential to develop independent research careers, and by fostering active commitment of early career investigators to the ISTH.
The award winners each receive an award of up to $50,000 USD for research in their respective category. Funds are used by applicants to support research, training and/or collaborations. The awards program was developed by the ISTH Basic Research Task Force under the purview of the Education Committee as a visible career development award mechanism for high-potential early career investigators. The winners include:
- Fundamental Mechanisms of Hemostasis: Yohei Hisada, Ph.D.
- Institution: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (United States)
- Project title: “The roles of the S100A10/annexin A2/tissue plasminogen activator and the urokinase plasminogen activator/urokinase plasminogen activator receptor pathways in the activation of fibrinolysis and bleeding in a mouse model of acute promyelocytic leukemia”
