Katherine Fitzgerald Awarded the 2024 ICIS-Howard A. Young Distinguished Service Award

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.

Susan Kaech is the 2024 ICIS Mentorship Award Winner

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.
