BU lecture to honor researcher who died on 9/11
Tomorrow, Boston University School of Medicine will remember one of its scientists who died on 9/11 in a lecture named after her.
The seventh annual Sue Kim Hanson Lecture in Immunology honors a former researcher in BU's Pulmonary Center who died with her husband and daughter on the second plane to strike the World Trade Center seven years ago. She was enrolled in a PhD program in pathology and laboratory medicine at the time of her death; BU awarded her doctorate posthumously in 2002.
Dr. Laurie Glimcher, a professor of immunology at the Harvard School of Public Health, will speak at noon in Keefer Auditorium about transcription factors that regulate inflammatory diseases.
