Zena Werb Memorial Symposium
Friday, October 6, 2023 | 1 - 4pm
Cole Hall, UCSF Parnassus Campus
Virtual option available
Join us for a mini-symposium honoring the memory of Zena Werb, PhD, who died in 2020 at the age of 75. In addition to being a renowned scientist in multiple disciplines, Zena was a forthright and loyal colleague, a devoted mentor, and a beloved friend to many.
To honor all Zena has brought to the scientific community and UCSF, we are establishing an annual memorial lectureship in her name. The first program will be a mini-symposium held on October 6, featuring scientific presentations and personal remembrances by three former trainees of Zena who are at different stages of their careers in cancer biology.
