Heimburger 2018)

Professor Heimburger Award

Celebrating Science

Professor Dr. Norbert Heimburger, a CSL Behring employee for over three decades, devoted his work to blood coagulation. During that time, he characterized and purified a large number of plasma proteins and was instrumental in making these available to the medical community as therapeutic options. One of his major contributions in this area was the development of virus-safe plasma products based on pasteurization. 

Due to his determination and his constant interaction with leading hemophilia and coagulation specialists, Behring launched the first effectively virus-inactivated FVIII concentrate in 1981. Honored with the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1991, Professor Dr. Heimburger retired in 1991 but was still very much involved with CSL Behring as a Scientific Advisor until he passed away in September 2006.
