Naomi M. Kanof Lecture

The Naomi M. Kanof Clinical Investigator Award honors an individual making significant contributions to the improvement of health through clinical research. Clinical research is broadly defined as any scientific endeavor with a direct application to improving the prevention, diagnosis or treatment of clinical disease. This investigator work can be based either in the laboratory and should be implemented or just ready to be implemented in clinical practice. It is hoped that the presentation of this award each year will focus attention of present and future researchers on the importance of clinical investigation. This award was established to honor the memory of Naomi Kanof, MD, who died in 1988 at the age of 76. During her distinguished career, she served as second editor of the Journal of Investigative Dermatology from 1949 to 1967 and was chosen as an Honorary Member of the Society for Investigative Dermatology in 1979.
