wellcome York's Borroughs Wellcome lecture: breaking new ground in medical science

"New Twist on Old Paradigms of Mitochondrial Evolution" was the title of the 1998-1999 Burroughs Wellcome Lecture held recently at York University.

York was honoured with one of only five Burroughs Wellcome Visiting Professorships in the Basic Medical Sciences awarded in Canada this year, with the nomination of Dr. Michael Gray as its visiting professor. The application to host the visiting professor was made through the Department of Biology on behalf of the University, and was successful because of the strong reputations of both Gray and the department. The award includes a $5,000 grant from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund to be used as an honorarium and to facilitate the individual honour with the professorship to deliver various lectures at York, and to interact with students and faculty.
