Thomas C. Südhof, MD, the Avram Goldstein Professor in the School of Medicine at Stanford University, will give the inaugural Munck-Pfefferkorn Prize Lecture on Sept. 9, 2016, at 10:00 AM in Auditorium H of the Williamson Translational Research Building at Dartmouth-Hitchock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH. In 2013, Dr. Südhof, James E. Rothman, and Randy W. Schekman were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine “for their discoveries of machinery regulating vesicle traffic, a major transport system in our cells.”

The event is free and open to the public.

The endowed Munck-Pfefferkorn Prize is named in honor of two luminaries from Dartmouth’s medical school: Elmer Pfefferkorn, PhD, Emeritus Professor of Microbiology and Immunology, and the late Allan Munck, PhD, Emeritus Professor of Physiology and Neurobiology. Both are regarded as outstanding scientists, teachers, and mentors, who inspired new generations of researchers and physicians.
