Kirsch Foundation Scientific Advisory Board

During the five years of the Kirsch Investigator Awards Program’s existence, we were fortunate to secure the support of a renowned group of medical scientists who agreed to serve as our Scientific Advisory Board (SAB). The SAB’s primary role was to oversee and evaluate the Kirsch Investigator Awards Program. The SAB evaluated and selected each year’s group of Investigators, as well as attended the annual Kirsch Investigator seminar, where presentations and discussions about each current Investigator's research took place.
