University of Pittsburgh // Health Sciences

 
 
The Senior Vice Chancellor's Laureate Lecture Series is designed to highlight the research of some of the nation’s most gifted, creative, and innovative scientists whose work will hold great interest for investigators at the University of Pittsburgh. “I am delighted to showcase their work here and equally delighted for these distinguished guests to meet with some of our own preeminent scientists, because great science does not occur in a vacuum. Rather, it feeds upon an exchange of ideas, which is what we hope to promote with the Laureate Lectures,” said Arthur S. Levine, M.D., senior vice chancellor for the health sciences and dean of the School of Medicine. All of the lectures, which are free and open to the public, will take place in Scaife Hall, Auditorium 6.
