This year, a special Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to Dr. Eaves to celebrate the outstanding contributions made during her distinguished career. As a founding scientist of the Stem Cell Network, Dr. Eaves has contributed greatly to the Network through her research, training and mentoring of next generation scientists.
