Über den Autor
Paul (August) Imbach is a highly respected pediatric oncologist-hematologist who has developed worldwide clinical research on the indications for intravenous immunoglobulin. Dr. Imbach graduated in Medicine in 1972. He went on to structure the Swiss Pediatric Oncology Group (SPOG) and in 1978 performed the first autologous stem cell transplantation in Switzerland. He discovered the immunomodulatory effects of human immunoglobulin G concentrate (IVIG) in childhood immune thrombocytopenia (as reported in Lancet in 1981). In 1990, Dr. Imbach began working at the University Children's Hospital Basel, where he started stem cell transplantation in children and was appointed Head of Pediatric Oncology-Hematology. He was subsequently elected as full professor and also as Dean of Education introducing a thorough curriculum reform of the medical faculty at the University of Basel. In parallel to his other activities, he co-founded the International Cooperative ITP Study ICIS group, which now has more than 90 centers worldwide. He has served as president of medical societies and foundations, is a member of various medical editorial boards, and has published over 300 peer-reviewed articles as well as the textbook Pediatric Oncology - A Comprehensive Guide (3rd edition 2014) in German and English. In 2015 he was awarded the Guido Fanconi Prize, the highest award of the Swiss Society of Pediatrics.
