<\/p>\n

\"Thurman\"The Ronald G. Thurman Lectureship Award<\/b> was established by the Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies, School of Medicine, University of North Carolina to honor the scientific excellence of Dr. Thurman\u2019s research and teaching. This award commemorates Ron\u2019s life\u2014not only for those of us who benefited in so many ways from knowing him\u2014but also for the students and scientists who will follow in his path.<\/p>\n

A distinguished researcher contributing to our knowledge of alcohol and liver function will receive the award. Awardees will be invited to visit the Center, present a lecture, and meet with our investigators to share knowledge and new ideas. A plaque recognizing Ron and listing the names of all awardees and donors hangs in the Center\u2019s lobby.<\/p>\n

The Ronald G. Thurman Lectureship Award<\/i> will serve to generate excitement and focus greater attention on the vitally important research that was Ron\u2019s passion. For more information on Ron’s life and the award, view the award brochure<\/a>.<\/p>\n
