“It is an honour to recognise Gregory Y. H. Lip, MD, FACC, with the Distinguished Scientist Award-Clinical Domain,” said ACC President Edward T. A. Fry, MD, FACC.

The Distinguished Scientist Award-Clinical Domain is awarded to a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology who has made major scientific contributions to the advancement of scientific knowledge in the field of cardiovascular disease. The award is given to three recipients; one in each the basic, clinical and translational domains.
