Schwartz Lecture
The Schwartz Lectureship was endowed by The Barry S. Strauch and Evelyn M. Strauch Foundation in honor of the late Dr. Irving L. Schwartz (1918-2011), the founding Chair of the former Department of Physiology, and the first Dean of the Mount Sinai Graduate School of Biological Sciences. The Schwartz Lectures are given annually by preeminent scientists in Structural and Chemical Biology to champion Dr. Schwartz’s vision in molecule-based research to the understanding of human physiology and disease. If you’re interested in joining the mailing list for the Lectureship in the future, please contact DPS@mssm.edu.
