We are pleased to announce that Soundarya Sevlam has won the 2016 Eberhard F. Mammen Young Investigator Award. Soundarya, a PhD Candidate in Dr. James' laboratory, presented at the SSC Meeting of the ISTH in Montpelier, France, in June. Her presentation, entitled "Blood outgrowth endothelial cells from type 3 von Willebrand disease patients displays abnormal angiogenesis," is part of an investigation into blood vessel growth in patients with the bleeding disorder von Willebrand disease.
These awards are given by Seminars in Thrombosis & Hemostasis annually for the best presentation by a young investigator delivered to an international audience on the topic of thrombosis or hemostasis. As part of the award, Soundarya has been invited to write a review on her topic. Needless to say, the James Lab is very proud of Soundarya and her accomplishments!

RECORD NUMBER OF QUEEN'S PROFESSORS ELECTED TO ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA
Seven Queen's University professors were named among the newest fellows of the Royal Society of Canada (RSC) today, more than in any other single year.
"It is remarkable in a university of our medium size to have seven distinguished faculty members elected to the Royal Society of Canada in one year. Each of these individuals has made important contributions to their fields, and I congratulate them on this well-deserved honour," says Principal Daniel Woolf, who currently serves on the RSC Executive Committee. "Moreover, fellowship in the three academies of the RSC is a much more meaningful and enduring measure of Queen's University's individual and collective achievements in research than are rankings exercises, which are too easily distorted by size of institution."
David Lillicrap (Pathology and Molecular Medicine) is an internationally-renowned researcher focused on the genetic basis of hemophilia and von Willebrand disease (VWD). His work has led to innovative strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of the world's most commonly-inherited bleeding diseases. Lillicrap's novel findings, now being applied to clinical care worldwide, are improving the quality of life for patients with inherited bleeding disorders.
The Royal Society of Canada was established under an Act of Parliament in 1882 as Canada's national academy. It helps promote Canadian research, scholarly accomplishment and advises governments, non-governmental organizations and Canadians on matters of public interest.
