Physician Support

CSL Behring Professor Heimburger Award

Global Research Grant – Coagulation

CSL Behring is committed to physician advocacy and supports long-range progress in the area of coagulation. Based on recent publications and feedback from the medical community, it is important to encourage the next generation of coagulation specialists to establish themselves medically and scientifically in order to continue their progress in this therapeutic area. CSL Behring funds an annual global grant program to support the above objective.

Professor Dr. Norbert Heimburger

Professor Dr. Norbert Heimburger, a CSL Behring employee for over three decades, devoted his work to blood coagulation. During that time, he characterized and purified a large number of plasma proteins and was instrumental in making these available to the medical community as therapeutic options.

Professor Heimburger’s determination and constant interaction with leading hemophilia and coagulation specialists helped the company launch the first effectively virus-inactivated factor VIII concentrate in 1981. In 1991, Prof. Dr. Heimburger was honored with the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. He retired the same year but remained very much involved with CSL Behring as a Scientific Advisor until he passed away in September 2006.

CSL Behring instituted the “CSL Behring Professor Heimburger Award” grant program to honor Professor Dr. Heimburger and his dedication to hemophilia research.

Eligibility

The Heimburger Award grants are targeted at investigators relatively new to the field of coagulation, who hold an MD and wish to establish their own independent research project in the field of coagulation. It is expected that the person indicated as the investigator for this grant application will be the individual who personally and actively takes primary responsibility for conducting the research.
