John Gorman, a former Pathology faculty member, who pioneered the treatment of Rh disease in the 1960s, has been awarded Australia’s highest honor for eminent service to humanity.
Rh disease is a problem solved in the United States in the 1960s through Columbia research, but 50 years later, much of the world doesn’t have access to the therapy.
The official launch of the WIRhE took place on Saturday, September 28, in Florence, Italy, on the occasion of the Second Annual International Symposium for the Eradication of Rh disease.
Pathology faculty Anette Wu chaired a unique symposium-workshop at the 19th Congress of the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (IFAA).
