A Michigan State University (MSU) professor of Pediatrics and Human Development has received the National Hemophilia Foundation’s Lifetime Achievement Award for advocating and treating bleeding and clotting disorders.
According to excerpts from the article:
“The award is a testament to Dr. Kulkarni’s dedication in this field of study,” said Dele Davies, chairperson of the Department of Pediatrics and Human Development. “She has given so much of her time and energy to better the health of myriad patients.”
Besides teaching at MSU’s Center for Bleeding and Clotting Disorders, Kulkarni served as director of the Division of Blood Disorders in the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from June 2006 to August 2008. During her time there, she traveled back to East Lansing once a month to see her patients.
Two of Kulkarni’s focal points have been her work preventing intracranial bleeds in babies with hemophilia and her research of women's bleeding disorders, including her effort to establish a women's clinic in a rural village in India, her home country.
