The Vladimir Nigrovic Lectureship in Pharmacology and Anesthesia
 |
Howard Rosenberg, M.D. Ph.D. introduced the Vladimir Nigrovic Lectureship in Pharmacology and Anesthesia which is named for the late Vladimir Nigrovic, M.D who had a long association with our department beginning in 1968. In addition to being an anesthesiologist, he had a long research career that continued until his death. His enthusiasm never diminished and he always had a new idea to talk about when one passed him in the hallway. |
