Who leads STM?

The Society for Thermal Medicine is governed by a board of officers and councilors, all of whom are elected annually by the general membership. The governing positions are volunteer roles, with officers serving multi-year terms and councilors serving two-year terms. The day-to-day operations of the society are managed by KnowledgeWorks Global Ltd. through a contract that provides association management services.

How is STM funded?

The primary sources of funding for the Society for Thermal Medicine include membership dues, donations, and revenue from the annual meeting, which consists of registration fees and sponsorships.

Why do I need to provide an area of discipline in my Membership Profile?

STM Bylaws require representation from all three disciplines on committees, and certain awards and Governing Council positions rotate annually between them. To help with this, members are asked to select one of the following disciplines: Biology/Chemistry, Clinical/Medical, or Engineering/Physics. This information is also included in the Membership Directory, making it easier to connect with colleagues who share similar interests.

Who can see my personal information?

STM values your privacy and will never sell or rent your personal data. Your information is available in the Members-Only Membership Directory, which is accessible exclusively to STM members in good standing. STM also collaborates with partner organizations to include relevant updates in mailings and emails, but only announcement-related data is shared. Email addresses and phone numbers are not exchanged.

What are the accepted payment options?

STM accepts Visa, Mastercard, and Discover credit cards. For security reasons, we ask that you avoid emailing credit card details. Payments made via credit card are securely processed on our website, and you may also fax or mail payments to the STM Business Office. We also accept checks from U.S. banks in U.S. currency, as well as wire transfers. Please note that any bank or wire transfer fees are the responsibility of the sender. For wire transfer details, contact the STM Business Office.

Does STM accept sponsorships and advertising?

Yes! STM welcomes sponsors and corporate partners. We offer advertising opportunities on our website and accept sponsorships for the annual meeting. For more information about website advertising, meeting sponsorships, and exhibitor opportunities, please email stm.ks@kwglobal.com.

STM Awards

J. Eugene Robinson Award

The J. Eugene Robinson Award is presented each year to an investigator who has made outstanding contributions to hyperthermic oncology. This lecture is to acknowledge the work of J. Eugene Robinson who was a pioneer in hyperthermic research for 20 years. He first used hyperthermia as an anti-cancer agent in the late 1960's and continued his investigations in various areas related to hyperthermia including thermal dose and time-temperature relationships. This award is given to investigators in each of the three main disciplines in Thermal Medicine (physics, biology and clinical/medicine) in a rotating fashion each year.

Submit a nomination for this award to the Awards Committee
Nomination deadline for this award: TBD

Past Award Recipients

George M. Hahn Award

The George M. Hahn Award is presented every other year to an investigator whose research has contributed in a significant way to new clinical applications in thermal therapy. This lecture is named in honor of Dr. George Hahn who received the first Robinson Award in 1989. Dr. Hahn led a highly productive clinical program grant at Stanford for many years and his fundamental work in the heat shock response and in how hyperthermia modifies chemotherapy sensitivity still stand today as foundational work. His highly productive career exemplifies the translational attributes of this award.

Submit a nomination for this award to the Awards Committee.

2019 Chris J. Diederich, PhD
2021 Rolf D. Issels, Prof. Dr. med. Dipl. Biochem.
2023 Hans Crezee, PhD

William C. Dewey Award

The William C. Dewey award is presented every other year to an investigator who has contributed in a significant way to the mentorship and training of new investigators in the field of thermal medicine. This lecture is named in honor of Dr. Bill Dewey who trained many leaders in our field in all three disciplines (physics, biology and clinical/medical). His emphasis on making hyperthermia treatment a quantifiable therapy with a defined method for performing thermal dosimetry has stood the test of time and has influenced how hyperthermia and thermal ablation are practiced today.

Tsudomu Sugahara Award

Established in 2008, the Tsudomu Sugahara Award is presented at the ICHO meeting (every 4 years) to an investigator who has shown Outstanding Contributions in the Field of Thermal Medicine. STM, ESHO and ASHO rotate in making the choice of the recipient based on the hosting society for the applicable ICHO meeting.

2008 ICHO, Munich, Germany - Chang Song (STM)
2012 ICHO, Kyoto, Japan - Gerard van Rhoon (ESHO)
2016 ICHO, New Orleans, USA - Yoko Harima (ASHO)
2021 ICHO, Rotterdam, the Netherlands - Mark Dewhirst (STM)

Scholar-in-Training Awards

The STM provides travel awards of up to $500 to encourage the participation of new Scholars at the STM Annual Meeting. The number of awards vary from year to year.

Award recipients are based upon a competitive evaluation of their submitted abstracts and New Investigator Award applications.

STM Scholar-in-Training Awards Application Criteria

2. The application must be completed and signed by both the faculty sponsor and the institution’s department chair.
3. The applicant must submit an abstract via online submission and a Scholar-in-Training membership application to the STM Business Office by the deadline for the current year's meeting. Applications received after this date will not be considered. The application form is available HERE.
4. To be considered, each applicant must be a STM Scholar-in-Training member or have a membership application pending.
5. Winners from previous years are eligible to apply for this award after sitting out for one year.
