David Grimwade Award

In 2017, EHA established a new award in honor of the late David Grimwade, for his great involvement and contribution to the European Hematology Association and its scientific activities as Board Member, TRTH Co-Director and Chair of the Scientific Program Committee. He was internationally renowned for his translational research, particularly in the field of acute promyelocytic leukemia. The award was therefore presented to honor leading and active basic and translational researchers in the field of hematology. Furthermore, candidature was based on several criteria, such as the support of European Hematology, area of expertise, eligibility, other awards, gender, and country of origin.

2024 winner

The 2024 winner of the David Grimwade Award was Prof Ivo Touw from the Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands.

He was presented with his award at the EHA2024 Congress, which was held in Madrid, Spain.
