Description:
The Gerald Award lecture is presented as part of our annual Symposium in Translational Research in Pathology, which also features research presentations and a poster session from members of the Pathology Department.

The William L. Gerald Award of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is conferred on a pathologist whose recent innovative research has provided novel insights into cancer biology and whose career trajectory suggests the potential for outstanding contributions in the years to come.

The award reflects the contributions and values brought to the Department of Pathology by William L. Gerald, an Attending Pathologist at MSK from 1992 to 2008. A gifted morphologist, Dr. Gerald was committed to providing state-of-the-art patient care as a surgical pathologist and recognized that the molecular characterization of human neoplasms could affect the classification, prognostic assessment, and treatment of cancer. Dr. Gerald had broad diagnostic expertise but focused his clinical work on genitourinary pathology, and he was also the pediatric pathology consultant for the department. He was a pioneer in the molecular characterization of cancer at a time when now commonplace molecular techniques were still cutting-edge technology. Dr. Gerald provided the first histologic description and subsequent molecular characterization of desmoplastic small round cell tumor, an entity that now bears his name. His work helped establish a novel molecular classification of neuroblastoma. He used gene expression analysis and other molecular assays to develop the prognostic characterization of prostate cancer. Throughout his career, Dr. Gerald collaborated with and provided mentorship to numerous trainees and colleagues. His quiet good nature and thoughtful approach made him a model physician-scientist. He was approachable and always willing to provide key insights. This award is a tribute to his scientific contributions and personal attributes, and to the legacy he left behind.
