Sarode Selected for 2026 Francis S. Morrison, M.D., Memorial Lectureship
Ravi Sarode, M.D., has been selected to be the 2026 recipient of the Francis S. Morrison, M.D., Memorial Lectureship.
The Lectureship recognizes individuals whose contributions have, or will likely have, a major impact on the field of apheresis medicine.
Dr. Morrison was among the early developers and promoters of the American Society for Apheresis (ASFA). His work was pivotal in creating a lasting institutional structure from which American apheresis medical practice would develop decades after his death.
Dr. Morrison is honored each year at the ASFA annual meeting as ASFA awards the Francis S. Morrison, M.D., Memorial Award Lecture to an individual who stands out as among its most accomplished members. This tribute seeks to describe the person and the key accomplishments of Francis S. Morrison in the historical context of a time when the future of apheresis medicine was uncertain.
