University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine professor Charles A. Dinarello has received the country’s largest award in medicine or science.
Dinarello won the $500,000 prize for leading the cloning effort of the body’s molecule that causes fever and inflammation associated with cancer and rheumatoid arthritis.
The Albany Medical Center Prize in Medicine and Biomedical Research was presented Friday in New York. It’s the second major research award for Dinarello in recent months.
