The Dr. Paul Gottlieb Lecture Series:

This lecture series was initiated by the Cell and Molecular Biology graduate students with the help of Dr. Ellen Gottlieb, who is a good friend of, but no relation to, Dr. Paul Gottlieb. The intent of the group was to begin a lecture series where graduate students are given the opportunity to closely interact with inspirational scientists who can share their scientific experiences and achievements.  We named the lecture series in honor of the late Dr. Paul D. Gottlieb, who was an outstanding professor of molecular genetics and microbiology and director of the School of Biological Sciences, until he sadly passed away in November of 2003. 

Over the last year, we have made great strides in establishing this lectureship as a long lasting memorial to a great man.  We have been recognized by the university as a registered student organization.  And, most importantly, the series has received an endowment that will ensure it carries on for many years to come and we hope will continue to grow.  We would like to thank each of Dr. Gottlieb’s friends and family members who contributed to this endowment.
