Abstract
The International Society for Biorheology has selected Professor Gerard Nash as recipient of the Poiseuille Medal for his seminal work on the role of leukocytes, platelets and the vessel wall in thrombosis and inflammation. After studying engineering and physics as an undergraduate in Manchester, Gerard pursued a research career in the biophysical sciences and received a Ph.D. in London that focused on the development of flowbased instrumentation for automated cell characterization. These studies led to an interest in blood cell mechanics, which he pursued in post-doctoral studies at Guy's hospital and subsequently with Professor Herbert Meiselman at the University of Southern California. His post-doctoral studies centered on analysis of the physical properties of red cells and leukocytes, that influence their circulation. On returning to UK to work with John Dormandy at St. George's Hospital Medical School, he applied these analytical approaches to defining biomechanical abnormalities associated with vascular disease.
