The International Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria Interest Group (IPIG) is dedicated to enhancing and expanding professional knowledge about paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and related disorders in order to improve patient treatment and care. ASH and IPIG have partnered to create the ASH-IPIG Abstract Achievement Award. The award is granted to up to two trainees (undergraduate student, medical student, graduate student, resident physician, or post-doctoral [MD or PhD] fellow) who are the first or senior author and presenter of the most meritorious PNH-focused abstracts submitted in the fields of red cells and erythropoiesis or bone marrow failure.
