About this Event
The inaugural symposium in honor of Bruce Hammock will celebrate the extraordinary visionary whose work bridged disciplines and transformed both fundamental discovery and translational medicine.
Bringing together leading experts from around the world, the program will reflect the breadth and impact of Bruce’s contributions; from the role of soluble Epoxide Hydrolase (sEH) in physiology and disease, and the therapeutic promise of targeting this pathway; to the characterization of environmental exposures and their effects on human health, innovations in nanobodies technology, and advances in translational medicine.
The agenda is tentative as we are adding speakers regularly. Current speakers include Darryl Zeldin, Bruce German, Dipak Panigraphy, and so many more! Check back for updates to the line up and schedule.
