The 2013 recipient is Dr. Jennifer Puck, who has pioneered screening for severe lymphocyte disorders among newborns using dried blood spots. Dr. Puck is a professor of pediatrics at UCSF and will be speaking in the session "Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses to Infection" and Sunday, May 19th (8:15 AM to 10:45 AM). This session is also organized by Division V, so we would appreciate your attendance for this session if at all possible. |
