ISN President Agnes Fogo and former Regional Board Chair Walter Douthat presented Pablo Ulises Massari with the 2021 ISN Pioneer Award for the Latin America region during the XIX SLANH Congress 2021 on June 24.

Dr. Douthat was able to present Dr. Massari with the award in person in a studio in Cordoba, Argentina, in line with current coronavirus regulations in the region.

Dr. Massari is an exemplary physician-scientist who has significantly impacted nephrology in Latin America. He has contributed extensively to ISN initiatives through his roles in several committees. His professional interests are kidney transplant and its immunologic mechanisms, glomerular diseases, global health policies on kidney disease, and nephrology education and training.

The ISN Pioneer Awards recognize individuals who have made outstanding and sustained contributions to the establishment or development of nephrology in their own country or region.
