Post doctoral fellow Georg Hansmann, MD, receives the 2006 AHA Cournand & Comroe Young Investigator Prize in Cardiopulmonary and Critical Care
Georg Hansmann, MD, former post doctoral fellow in the lab of Marlene Rabinovitch, who is currently a clinical fellow at the UCSF School of Medicine, has been presented the American Heart Association’s Cournand & Comroe Young Investigator Prize in Cardiopulmonary and Critical Care. Dr Hansmann received the award from the association’s Council on Cardiopulmonary and Critical Care. The prize acknowledges the research accomplishments of early career cardiovascular investigators and encourages them to continue their research in biomedical sciences. It is awarded annually to one of five finalists who submit an abstract to the AHA's annual Scientific Sessions. Applications are judged on the scientific merit of the abstract; quality and originality of the manuscript; professional accomplishments of the applicant; and the applicant’s oral abstract presentation at Scientific Sessions.
