The Edward H. Birkenmeier Distinguished Lectureship in Genetics and Evolution
Birkenmeier Lecture Series - Bar Harbor, ME, United States
Edward H. Birkenmeier, 1947-1996, was a member of the scientific staff of The Jackson Laboratory for sixteen years and a Senior Staff Scientist for five. The Birkenmeier Lectureship was founded to honor his memory and as a tribute to his enthusiasm and faith in science and learning. The lectureship is endowed through a fund established by Ed's family, friends, and colleagues. The funds are used to bring a distinguished scientist to the Jackson Laboratory for an annual lecture, usually in October, and open to the public. The first lecture was held in 1998.
Dr. Katherine S. Pollard, Associate Professor, Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics, Institute for Human Genetics, University of California, San Francisco, Founder and Faculty Supervisor, Gladstone Bioinformatics Core, will present the 2013 Birkenmeier Lecture at 4:00 p.m. in the CC Little Auditorium at the Jackson Laboratory. Dr. Pollard’s research focuses on identifying the genetic basis for human-specific traits in evolution and in the susceptibility to AIDS and atherosclerosis; and characterizing the human microbiome through metagenomic data
