The Carter Symposium

Carter Symposium – Hosted by Dr. Jie Sun is scheduled for April 17, 2023.

The theme for 2019’s Carter Symposium was “Novel Insights into Systemic and Cell Autonomous Control of Immunity”. Frederic Geissman (MSK Cancer Center), Bana Jabri (Univ. of Chicago), John MacMicking (Yale), and David Schneider (Stanford). And this year’s hosts were Melanie Rutkowski, Rebecca Pompano, Bimal Desai and Sarah Ewald.

2018’s symposium was hosted by John Lukens, PhD (Neuroscience), and brought together leading researchers on the topic of “Balancing Immune Homeostasis and the Response to Danger Signals”

The Anderson Symposium

Before The Carter Symposium we had The Anderson Symposium.

The John F. Anderson Memorial Lectureship was established in 1955 by Dr. John F. Anderson, a graduate in 1895 of the University of Virginia School of Medicine. Through his most generous gift to the University, it has been possible to establish a lectureship in medical science and public health, which will bring to this medical community, the latest developments in these fields.
