About the Dean’s Distinguished Lecture

Discover the Living World with Dunlop BioSci

The Dean’s Distinguished Lecture Series was created in 2014 by Dean LaFerla with the goal of sharing with the public the important research being conducted at UCI BioSci. Held quarterly, these events have become one of the best examples of UC Irvine’s public outreach. Each lecture features a renowned expert who presents their latest findings and insights on a wide range of topics, from cutting-edge biomedical research to groundbreaking discoveries in environmental science. Attendees have the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking discussions, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the scientific advancements that are shaping our world. The series not only highlights the innovative work being done at UCI but also fosters a sense of community and collaboration between researchers, students, and the public.
