Among other awards, he received The Prince Mahidol Medal of the Kingdom of Thailand, The French Medical Scientific Communityâs âTamis de Pepites Rouges,â election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, The Amgen Award of the International Society of Nephrology, and The Karl Landsteiner Memorial Award of American Association of Blood Banks.
