In its first annual Delbert McQuaide Lectureship Series, Juniata College presents Dr. John Kuriyan Wednesday night, September 23.
Admission is free, and the public is invited to attend.
Dr. Kuriyan s lecture is designed to give a general audience an understanding of the importance of research at the molecular level to understanding biological function. He will use cancer research as his 'case study'. He will be presenting parts of this lecture to major private and corporate donors at Rockefeller University next week, making his presentation at Juniata a unique opportunity to witness at least one way that science policy and public policy are influenced. An audience with a wide range of interests, from art to politics, is encouraged to attend to provide for a lively and informed discussion after Dr. Kuriyan s presentation. In addition, Dr. Kuriyan will present a series of three more detailed lectures leading to discussion of his current research, for which he has recently received the prestigious Eli Lilly Award of the American Chemical Society.
