This award will be available for the best lung cancer abstract at each APSR Congress until 2027.
This award is named in honour of Malcolm Winterburn, engineer, family man and beloved friend who died all too young.
This award is generously provided by Dr Andrew Bush for the advancement of lung cancer research by an APSR Young Investigator from an Asia-Pacific LMIC* who is presenting original work at the APSR Congress.
Dr Bush is Professor of Paediatrics and Head of Section (Paediatrics, Imperial College London), Professor of Paediatric Respirology, National Heart and Lung Institute, and Consultant Paediatric Chest Physician, Royal Brompton Harefield NHS Foundation Trust.
The winning abstract is selected by the APSR, supported by the APSR Lung Cancer Assembly, which ranks the abstracts for their novelty, importance, methodology, clarity and overall quality. A consensus on the best (eligible) lung cancer abstract is then obtained through a rigorous judging system.
