Events
Anderson Lecture and Symposia 2024
Dates TBD
The John F. Anderson Memorial Lectureship was established in 1955 by Dr. John F. Anderson, a graduate in 1895 of the University of Virginia, School of Medicine. Through his gift to the University, it has been possible to establish a lectureship in medical science and public health which will bring to this medical community the latest developments in these fields.
Dr. Anderson made many outstanding contributions to the science of medicine during his long career of service and leadership in public health, medical research, and medical production. Dr. Anderson was the third director of the Hygienic Laboratory (the predecessor of the National Institute of Health) and was among the early scientists who made the Laboratory well-known in scientific circles.

Research Faculty Retreat 2026
The Faculty Research Retreat is a biannual event for faculty researchers at the School of Medicine. Every other year, the faculty gather for a two-day retreat to explore ideas and learn from experts about various topics.
In 2024, nearly 300 School of Medicine research faculty gathered for two days on February 2 and 3. They explored the topic “Emerging Approaches and Biotechnologies” in a variety of sessions.
In addition, Dean Kibbe introduced the inaugural “Shark Tank” Research Competition, where six faculty teams competed for up to $500,000 in prize money. Read about the 2024 research retreat and competition.
