2nd Annual David J Heslin Memorial Symposium

The Graduate Division of Biomedical Sciences, The Belfer Institute for Advanced Biomedical Studies and Regeneron are hosting the David J. Heslin Memorial Symposium. As some of you may know, Dr. David Heslin, Einstein Alumni '09, lost his battle with cancer. Dave was an inspiration for anyone who knew him, and he cared deeply about the development of young scientists. As done last year, we have organized another day combining a career development session with really exciting science in honor of Dave.

We hope that you will join us in remembering David with his colleagues from Regeneron and our Einstein community.

Registration Information
