2023 Eberly Distinguished Lectureship in Immunology
The Eberly Distinguished Lectureship in Immunology was established in 2011 by the Department of Immunology and the Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute to recognize the generous support of the Robert E. Eberly Family and to showcase each year the research of three prominent international leaders in the field of immunology.
*Due to unforeseen circumstances, the May 25th Eberly Lecture with Dr. E. John Wherry has been cancelled. We will post new date information here once confirmed.*
