In 1968, medical technologist Jane Swanson was the first recipient of the Ivor Dunsford Memorial Award, given by the American Association of Blood Banks, for her discoveries at the Minneapolis Memorial Blood Bank, including several antigens (most notably the rare Pk antigen) and blood groups. She had a B.S. in medical technology from University of Minnesota.
