Drs. Linet and Hartge Recognized by the InterLymph Consortium
Patricia Hartge and Martha Linet.
The International Consortium of Investigators Working on Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Epidemiology Studies, referred to as InterLymph or the InterLymph Consortium, honored Martha S. Linet, M.D., M.P.H., Chief of the Radiation Epidemiology Branch, and Patricia Hartge, Sc.D., Epidemiology and Biostatistics Program, at the InterLymph 2009 Annual Scientific Meeting in Vancouver. The consortium members presented Drs. Linet and Hartge with Awards for Outstanding Service in recognition of their insight, initiative, and key roles in founding InterLymph. Both have served in the governing group, on working panels devoted to specific projects, and as authors on reports of pooled analyses conducted by the consortium.
Founded in 2001, InterLymph has served as an open scientific forum for epidemiologic research on non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Supported by DCEG, the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences, the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France and the Leukemia Research Fund in London, the international consortium consists of investigators who have completed or who have ongoing case-control studies of lymphoma and who undertake large-scale collaborative research projects that pool data across the individual studies.
