Susan Kaech is the 2024 ICIS Mentorship Award Winner in recognition not only of her cutting-edge research and seminal discoveries and scientific accomplishment, but for her ardent sponsorship and relentless championship of the junior faculty she has helped in the establishment and success of their own independent research programs. She is known as a “forever-mentor” who cares more about her trainees (and often those completely unrelated to her lab) than she does about her own career, strongly supporting people in her lab long after they have left the lab.

Stefan Rose-John is recognized as the 2024 ICIS-BioLegend William E. Paul Award winner in recognition for his seminal contributions to the field of cytokine biology. With a primary focus on the IL-6 cytokine family, his fundamental research has pioneered several paradigm-shifting discoveries, which have steered understanding of IL-6 in physiology and pathophysiology. Moreover, these insights have informed refinements affecting how target IL-6 for therapy. By presenting this Award, which is generously sponsored by BioLegend, the ICIS recognizes Professor Rose-John as one of a rare breed of scientists who has excelled in discovery science, achieved success as an entrepreneur, and translated his basic scientific discoveries into treatments that directly ameliorate patients’ lives.
