On the recordJuly 26, 2022
Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Michael Welsh of the University of Iowa College of Medicine. Dr. Welsh recently won the 2022 Shaw Prize in Life Science and Medicine for his discoveries of defects causing cystic fibrosis and his development of medicines that reverse those defects. Dr. Welsh has spent the past 40 years of his career researching cystic fibrosis and looking for solutions at the University of Iowa. The Shaw Prize is awarded to those whose discoveries in biomedical sciences have created solutions to illness and suffering. This is a remarkable achievement, and Dr. Welsh's research and discoveries should be highlighted. I am excited to see where his research takes him and those he inspires and mentors, and how the University of Iowa will contribute to the cure of cystic fibrosis.
