Gout, Urate, and Crystal Deposition Disease (GUCDD, ISSN: 2813-4583) and G-CAN leadership are pleased to announce the winner of the 2026 Gold Medal Award, Prof. Dr. Lisa Stamp, MBChB, FRACP, PhD, Dip Mus, FRSNZ.
Prof. Dr. Stamp, a rheumatologist and Professor of medicine at the University of Otago, Christchurch, and Health New Zealand Waitaha, has been an active member of G-CAN since its inception, taking leadership roles in multiple key G-CAN initiatives, including the G-CAN White Paper on gout and hyperuricemia management in CKD. In 2024, she was appointed to the G-CAN Advisory Board.
This is only the seventh such award by the Society in our 12 years of existence, reflecting that it is the highest honor G-CAN bestows on investigators in the field. The 2026 award recognizes Prof. Dr. Stamp’s driving role in landmark and prolific published research in the field, her commitment and achievements in mentoring, and her remarkable involvement and service to G-CAN in the relatively short and continuously evolving history of the Society.
