The Lasker Lectures explore fundamental scientific questions and elucidate topics of pressing interest in medical research and clinical practice. Through its lecture series, the Lasker Foundation hopes to advance a public dialogue about the ways in which scientific questions are pursued, to boost public understanding of the importance of biomedical research, and to generate excitement about the challenges and promise of biomedical science.
The 2012 Lasker Lecture was delivered by Ron Vale to students at Stuyvesant High School in New York City on September 24, 2012.
