Elaine Jaffe
Elaine is Head of the Hematopathology Section at the US National Institute of Health’s National Cancer Institute. She has led pioneering studies in relation to the classification of malignant lymphomas and sits at the forefront of an international effort for consensus among clinicians and pathologists. Nominators are effusive in their praise for her trailblazing work, which has been instrumental in the establishment of a new paradigm for lymphoid neoplasm classification. “Hematopathology has always been an ideal subspecialty for me because of the integration of pathology with clinical information, and the incorporation of modern molecular techniques,” says Elaine.
