Svati Shah, MD, assistant professor of medicine (Cardiology), will receive the Judson Daland Prize for Outstanding Achievement in Clinical Investigation from the American Philosophical Society.
"This is a true honor and I really appreciate the Department of Medicine nominating me for this award," said Dr. Shah. "I will use the $20,000 honorarium to support some whole exome sequencing work that is currently unfunded."
Shah will receive the prize at the APS annual meeting in Philadelphia in November 2011.
