Lotte Strauss
Lotte Strauss (15 April 1913 – 4 July 1985) was a German-American pathologist.She was born in Nuremberg, Germany. Strauss, alongside Jacob Churg, attributed her name to Churg–Strauss syndrome, which is now known as eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. She was one of the founders of the Society for Pediatric Pathology. Strauss was also part of a group that made significant contributions to the understanding of renal pathology. The group included Lotte Strauss, Jacob Churg and Edith Grishman, and was deemed “most productive for many years”. Strauss became the first pediatric pathologist at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan, New York, and made valuable contributions to the area of fetal development pathology. Lotte Strauss worked with Donald Gribetz at Mount Sinai Hospital in the pediatric pathology department. Later on, she became an associate pathologist in the Division of Pediatric Pathology, as well as a professor of pathology at The Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
The Society for Pediatric Pathology annually awards The Lotte Strauss Prize to an individual under 40 years of age for their contribution to pediatric pathology that has been "published or accepted for publication during the year immediately preceding the award". Provided by Wikipedia
