According to ISTH, "Initiated in 1982, the Biennial Awards for Contributions to Hemostasis recognize individuals who, in the opinion of their co-workers and peers, have made significant contributions to research and education in blood coagulation...
The Nominating Committee for the Biennial Awards is comprised of the Society's Senior Advisory Council, 99 distinguished and internationally recognized experts who have previously served as elected members of the ISTH Scientific and Standardization Committee. Final election of awardees is made by the current members of the SSC."
In a recent publication in the Journal of Biology Chemistry, Professor Morrissey and colleagues identify a molecular process vital to the mechanism of blood clotting.
