In recent years, the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) Awards Program has presented two awards for contributions to and achievement in clinical microbiology. The ASM Scherago-Rubin Award for Clinical Microbiology recognizes an outstanding bench-level clinical microbiologist involved in routine diagnostic work who has distinguished her- or himself by excellent performance. The award was established by the late Dr. Sally Jo Rubin, an active member of ASM’s Clinical Microbiology Division C, in honor of her grandfather, Professor Morris Scherago. The ASM Award for Research and Leadership in Clinical Microbiology recognizes an outstanding scientist/clinical microbiologist with distinguished research achievements and a record of innovation and advancement of the clinical microbiology profession. This honor represents the recent merger of the BD Award for Research in Clinical Microbiology and the bioMérieux Sonnenwirth Award for Leadership in Clinical Microbiology, which were established in 1978 and 1986, respectively.
