CMHF - Dr. Connie J. Eaves 2019 Laureate

Dr. Connie J. Eaves is a world authority on stem cells of the blood-forming system and their regulation in normal and perturbed states. Spanning four decades, Dr. Eaves’ work has advanced curative therapies for patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and identified “quiescent” CML stem cells, the first recognition of this cellular state as a hallmark of many types of chemo-resistant cancer stem cells. The full import of this discovery has yet to be fully realized with continuing implications for ongoing cancer research. Dr. Eaves has also pioneered robust methods for quantifying primitive hematopoietic and mammary cells from both mice and humans that have become ‘gold standards’ and the basis of standardized reagents with significant commercial applications. Dr. Eaves has served as President of the National Cancer Institute of Canada, Associate Scientific Director of the Canadian Stem Cell Network and President of the International Society of Experimental Hematology. She has published more than 500 papers, mentored more than 100 post-graduate trainees and received numerous national and international awards and honours. She is currently Editor-in-Chief of the journal, Experimental Hematology. For more information go to www.CdnMedHall.org
