DOM Research Seminar Series

The DOM Research Seminar Series and Winter Lung Series Conference lectures for Thursday, March 9, have been combined, which means a change of venue for the event from the BIO5 Institute to Room 5403 of the UA College of Medicine – Tucson.

The speaker is Serpil Erzurum, MD, a professor and chair of the Department of Pathobiology at the Lerner Research Institute and the Alfred Lerner Memorial Chair in Innovation Biomedical Research at the Case Western University School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio. A world-renowned translational scientist on respiratory diseases, she is also a staff physician at the Respiratory Institute and director of the Clinical Research Unit at the Cleveland Clinic, as well as the chair for the Assembly on Allergy, Immunology and Inflammation at the American Thoracic Society.

Dr. Erzurum’s topic is “Metabolism and Hypoxia in Pulmonary Vascular Disease.” Her talk runs from noon to 1 p.m. A light lunch will be served similar in style to the Medicine Grand Rounds.
