Dr. Janet Rowley is internationally recognized for her work on genetic abnormalities in leukemia and lymphoma. In 1972, she discovered a chromosomal translocation in acute myelogenous leukemia, the first time translocations were discovered in any human cancer. Dr. Rowley's continuing research in this area has led to a better understanding of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. Among her many honors, she has received two of ASH's highest awards: the Dameshek Prize and the Stratton Medal. Dr. Rowley is currently the Blum-Riese Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago.
Dr. Rowley will be speaking about her life's work and pioneering discoveries at one of the 2008 ASH Annual Meeting Pioneers in Hematology sessions.
We encourage you to honor Dr. Rowley by sharing your thoughts or stories through the Legends in Hematology Guestbook or by making a special gift to ASH. |
