Congratulations Dr. Young!

Dr. Neal Young of the NIH has been named one of 9 winners of the 2012 Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medal for his work with aplastic anemia and other bone marrow failure diseases.

While not a "cure", it was his work that uncovered the autoimmune connection and brought us the ATG/cyclosporine protocol that has changed so many of our lives.
