This year’s William D. Stubenbord lecture, “Unlocking the Treasure of Xenotransplantation, Lessons from the Pig Heart” will be given by Bartley Perry Griffith, M.D.. Dr. Griffith is the Distinguished Professor of Transplant Surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

The William D. Stubenbord Visiting Professorship was established in 1968 by a gift from the Louis Calder Foundation in memory of Louis Calder Sr. and Louis Calder Jr., and in recognition of the outstanding professional services and long friendship that the late Dr. William D. Stubenbord had for them and members of their families. Dr. Stubenbord, who died in 1982, was a 1931 graduate of Weill Cornell Medicine and was associated with The New York Hospital–Cornell Medical Center during his entire medical career.
