Thomas 50th Anniversary celebration |
Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2007, the Center threw a party to honor Dr. E. Donnall Thomas, his wife and longtime research partner Dottie, and the pioneering work that in 1990 earned Thomas the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine.
In his introduction, Dr. Fred Appelbaum, senior vice president and director of the Clinical Research Division, said that Thomas's "seminal experiment marked the beginning of a long road that led to the current practice of hematopoietic-cell transplantation, which this year will be used to treat more than 50,000 people worldwide."
