Call for nominations deadline: July 1, 2026
The Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute is accepting nominations for the 2027 Thomas E. Starzl Prize in Surgery and Immunology, awarded annually to a national or international leader in the field of organ transplantation and immunology.
The Thomas E. Starzl prize in Surgery and Immunology was established in 1996 to honor clinical and scientific contributions of Thomas Starzl, a pioneer in transplantation. The prize consists of a crystal award, an honorarium of $10,000 and travel expenses to visit the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in the spring of 2027 to formally receive the award and to present the Thomas E. Starzl Prize in Surgery and Immunology lecture. During the visit, the winner will also participate in related activities and meet informally with faculty, postdoctoral fellows and students.
