Event

The Terplan lecture is sponsored by the Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences, UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. Dr. Terplan was Professor and Chairman of the Department of Pathology for nearly 30 years, and despite his retirement as Chair, Dr. Terplan’s contributions, particularly in the area of neuropathology, continued for another 25 years. This event is made possible, in part, through an endowment initiated by Dr. Terplan’s son Martin, and members of Dr. Terplan’s family. The lecture will be followed by a reception.
