Abstract

April 2011 marked the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the American Red Cross Blood Services (ARCBS). In this report, we present a biography of Dr. Charles Drew, the first medical director of the ARCBS. Although many may recognize Dr. Charles Drew for this position, the research and training that led him to be uniquely qualified to take this position may not be as well known. We present his professional training, his research on blood preservation and distribution, and his service to the larger medical community and country. Lastly, we address the many myths that have arisen over the years since his untimely death at the age of 45 on April 1, 1950, and present the legacy of Dr. Charles Drew that has largely been unknown to the greater medical and scientific community.

摘要

2011年4月是美国红十字会血液服务机构（ARCBS）成立70周年。在本报告中，我们介绍了ARCBS的首任医学主任查尔斯·德鲁博士的生平。尽管许多人可能因这一职位而认识查尔斯·德鲁博士，但使他具备担任这一职位独特资格的研究和培训可能并不广为人知。我们介绍他的专业培训、他在血液保存和分配方面的研究，以及他为更广泛的医学界和国家所提供的服务。最后，我们探讨了自他于1950年4月1日英年早逝，年仅45岁以来多年出现的诸多误解，并介绍了查尔斯·德鲁博士的遗产，而这在很大程度上不为广大医学和科学界所知。
