Expanded 2021 Incyte Ingenuity Award Program

Dr. Navneet Majhail, M.D., M.S., Director, Blood and Marrow Transplant Program, Cleveland Clinic, and an Incyte Ingenuity Award judge discusses the Incyte Ingenuity Award Program which was created to support people impacted by graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).  This condition can occur after an allogeneic stem cell transplant where the donated cells initiate an immune response and attack the transplant recipient’s organs, leading to significant morbidity and mortality.  The 2021 Incyte Ingenuity Award program has been expanded to now include a second $35,000 award in addition to the original $100,000 award to better support projects of different scales.  Open for entries until June 30, 2021.
