The 1996 lifetime achievement award

The 1996 Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Professor Guido Majno in recognition of his long and distinguished research career, as well as his ability to bring alive the history of wound healing in his writing. This award is given each year by The Wound Healing Society to recognize those individuals who have made significant contributions to our understanding of the biology of wound healing. Professor Majno's contributions to the field over the past five decades have, among other work, changed our understanding of the cell biology of wound contraction with his seminal studies with Giulio Gabbiani, MD, PhD on the myofibroblast . In addition to his many contributions in the laboratory, Prof. Majno is the widely acclaimed author of "The Healing Hand : Man and Wound in the Ancient World" which was first published in 1975 . After more than 20 years, this volume is clearly the standard historical text in the field and is widely cited in the current literature . It is a rare gift to be able to bridge the clinical and research arenas with history in the successful manner which is so apparent in this text . Professor Majno is truly an international scholar. Originally from Italy, he received a Doctorate in Medicine and Surgery from the University of Milan. He then held several academic positions in pathology at the University of Geneva, Switzerland before emigrating to the United States, where he secured a position at Harvard Medical School .
