For pioneering innovation in quantitative biomarker science that has transformed cancer diagnostics and treatment. Dr. Rimm’s invention of the fluorescence based Automated Quantitative Analysis (AQUA) platform has revolutionized immunohistochemistry by enabling precise and reproducible protein measurement in tissue specimens. His extensive work advancing multiplexed and computational imaging approaches, and his leadership in defining clinically relevant differences in PD L1 assays, HER2 assays and immune biomarkers using standardization and harmonization approaches have effectively shaped precision cancer medicine.
The AACR established the AACR James S. Ewing-Thelma B. Dunn Award for Outstanding Achievement in Pathology in Cancer Research in 2021 to recognize and celebrate pathologists who have significantly contributed to advancing cancer research, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
