Dr. Vivek Gupta proud to receive the ISBT and DGTI poster award

15 August 2010

During the International Congress in Berlin Poster award prizes were introduced and those who won were thrilled underneath. For many of the winners it was their first international congress and they really appreciated having their scientific work recognised. Please find underneath the comment of Dr. Gupta and a scan of an article which was published in his local newspaper. In Transfusion Today 84 you will find more comments.

It was a great experience for me to be in the international congress of the ISBT held at Berlin and it meant to me a lot. I was really speechless at the time of leaving. It was the first International congress. I attended. I came across different people and various scientific ideas. The concept of DOMAINE: European donor management was one which I liked most. To me it was like all the scientific ideas pooling together to make XXXIst international congress of the ISBT a big success. It covered the large number of topics of blood transfusion and served as a common platform for discussion. The credit of success goes to the dignitaries Prof. Dr. Seifried, Dr. Eckstein, and others.  Winning the ISBT and DGTI poster award is a great honour to me. The congress and winning poster award has not only given new dimensions to my scientific research work but has also given a shape to my personality. I was never given so much importance before. It is always said that hard work pays and yes that was the time!! I am really thankful to the scientific committee for appreciating my hard work. As soon as my name was in the list of winners I recollected the memories of hard work which has led to it and I informed to my parents who have always supported me during my hardship. It was a moment of pride to my family and my department. This is the achievement which I will never forget. It was a great congress. All I can say is “Thanks.”
