RESEARCH PAPER AWARD LIST
Peter Brigham Burn Epidemiology Prevention Best Paper Award
...
The Robert B. Lindberg Award is awarded for the best scientific paper submitted by a non-physician. Robert B. Lindberg, PhD (1914-1982) was an internationally recognized microbiologist whose research career spanned more than half a century. Dr. Lindberg’s extensive knowledge of wound microbiology was acquired during World War II and with the U.S. Army Surgical Research Team during the Korean Conflict. During his long tenure at the USAISR, Dr. Lindberg was an integral member of the multidisciplinary team that investigated the pathogenesis of burn wound infection. He examined and cultured wounds in performing extensive research on the clinical microbiology of burn wounds. He instituted innovative epidemiologic surveillance systems and identified sources of contamination in the patient care environment. His findings were instrumental in defining the significance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization and infection in burn patients. Dr. Lindberg developed the still current “gold standard” animal model for evaluating topical antimicrobial agents. That landmark accomplishment and his laboratory contributions during subsequent clinical trials established Mafenide (Sulfamylon) as the first effective topical burn agent. Dr. Lindberg’s scientific discoveries and his singular contributions as a non-physician member of the burn team are memorialized by the ABA Robert B. Lindberg Award.
