About Claire McLintock

Claire McLintock, a distinguished hematologist and ISTH leader, passed away on December 23, 2022, at the age of 57. Originally from Scotland, Claire immigrated to New Zealand in 1990 and became a globally recognized expert in thrombosis and hemostasis, particularly in women’s health. She was deeply passionate about improving care for women with bleeding and clotting disorders, especially during pregnancy. Her groundbreaking work in anticoagulation for women with mechanical heart valves has saved and improved countless lives.

Throughout her career, Claire held several leadership roles within the ISTH, including serving as ISTH President from 2018-2020, Chair of the Education Committee and a founding member of the World Thrombosis Day Steering Committee. In memory of her remarkable contributions to hematology, we are proud to establish the Claire McLintock Memorial Award.
