Dr. Norbert Hirschhorn, lecturer in epidemiology and public health, was one of four recipients of the 2002 Pollin Prize for Pediatric Research.
The prize was awarded to clinician-scientists who made seminal contributions to the discovery and implementation of an inexpensive and effective therapy to combat infectious diarrhea, one of the most common life-threatening pediatric illnesses. The shared prize consists of a $100,000 award to the recipients and a $100,000 fellowship stipend to be assigned by the recipients to a young investigator at one of their institutions who is working in an area related to that of the recipients. The awards were presented on Nov. 15.
