The Founders Day lectureship was established in 1979 to commemorate the founding of the College and to recognize and honor UArizona College of Medicine – Tucson faculty for their scientific accomplishments. Each year, faculty members select one of their peers whose research has a continuous thread of significance and who can effectively present that research with enthusiasm, vigor and inspiration.

The date of the lecture coincides with the dedication of the College: November 17, 1967.

The 2023 honoree is Katalin Gothard, MD, PhD, professor of physiology, neurology, and neuroscience. Dr. Gothard will present “A journey to the center of the emotional brain.”

Doors will open at 11:30 a.m. with a light reception. The program will begin promptly at noon and conclude at 1 p.m.
