Katherine Fitzgerald is awarded the 2024 ICIS-Howard A. Young Distinguished Service Award in recognition of her extraordinary contributions to the ICIS, most especially her presidential leadership during the two worst years of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a highly successful Professor and investigator with a strong commitment to the future of immunological sciences, she has risen to the highest level of scientific excellence in our field, yet she still finds the time to provide “above and beyond” service that furthers the goals of the ICIS. Professor Fitzgerald is a role model for all cytokine biologists, personifying the standard of service to the organization established by Howard A. Young himself.
Dr. Fitzgerald, the Worcester Foundation for Biomedical Research Chair, Professor of Medicine, Vice Provost for Basic Science Research and Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Medicine and Director of the Program in Innate Immunity, has been widely recognized for her pioneering work on innate immune receptors, signaling pathways and regulation of inflammatory gene expression.
