Litwack Lecture
Guest Lecturer, Dr. Peter Doherty
Dr. Peter Doherty is a Laureate Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Melbourne. He is also a Michael F. Tamer Chair in the Department of Immunology at St Jude’s Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. Dr. Doherty is a co-recipient of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of how the immune system recognizes virus-infected cells.
History of the Litwack Lecture
Dr. Martin Litwack
The Litwack Lectures are supported by the Martin Litwack Fund, an endowment created by family and friends as a living memorial to Dr. Litwack, who was an acknowledged leader in establishing the College of Veterinary Medicine at North Carolina State University. Dr. Litwack was a charter member of the North Carolina Veterinary Medical Foundation and was active in many professional organizations including the North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association, the American Animal Hospital Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association. He served as president of the Triangle, Eastern North Carolina and North Carolina Veterinary Medical Associations. Dr. Litwack was also very active in community affairs and received many awards in recognition of his service and leadership, including the North Carolina Association of the Professions Special Recognition Award. Dr. Litwack is perhaps best remembered for his love of his family and profession, his deep commitment to education and to North Carolina State University, and his strong sense of obligation to the North Carolina livestock industry and to the general public.
Research Forum
The Annual CVM Research Forum jointly sponsored by the Faculty Committee on Research and Phi Zeta organization is scheduled for Wednesday, February 20, 2013, at the CVM and will be followed immediately by an awards ceremony.
The Research Forum will include three levels of participation: a poster session, oral presentations, and innovation presentations open to DVM students, graduate students and house officers.
The College of Veterinary Medicine is pleased to announce its First Biomedical and Animal Health Innovation Challenge for Students. Veterinary Medical Students and College of Veterinary Medicine Graduate Students are welcome to submit an innovation for a biomedical or animal health problem of their interest. Entries may be by individuals or as a team (up to 5 individuals). Innovation presentations will take place 3:00-4:00pm
The poster presentations will be on display all day at the Research Forum. Poster presentations must be set up by 5:00 pm on Tuesday, February 19. Graduate Student authors will be at their posters on Friday from 10:00 - 11:00am; DVM student authors will be at their posters 12:00-1:00pm.
Oral presentations will be limited to 10 minutes (eight minutes for presentation and two minutes for questions). Presentations will be strictly timed to ensure that all are completed in a reasonable time frame.
All CVM faculty are asked to attend and encourage their DVM students, graduate students and house officers to present at the Research Forum. CVM faculty will judge each level.
Prizes for posters, oral presentations and innovations categories will be awarded: The top 2 posters, oral presentations and innovations
will receive an Award of Excellence - $150 each. The next 2 posters, oral presentations and innovations will receive the Certificate of Achievement
– $75 each
Abstract Submission
Abstract Submission Deadline: December 3, 2012, 5:00pm. Late abstracts will not be accepted
