Dr. Kevin P. White, a pioneer in systems biology, will present the 2007 Indiana University School of Medicine-Evansville Corcoran lecture: “Systems Biology and Genomic Medicine – A New Paradigm?” at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, October 23, in USI’s Rice Library Room 0017, the auditorium in the library’s lower level. The lecture is free and open to the public. White is the James and Karen Frank Family Professor in the Departments of Human Genetics and Ecology and Evolution at the University of Chicago and director of the Joint Institute for Genomics and Systems Biology at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory. Prior to these appointments, White held joint appointments as an associate professor of Genetics at the Yale University School of Medicine and in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University, following a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University. The IU School of Medicine-Evansville sponsors the annual Patrick J.V. and Margaret B. Corcoran Lecture in memory of its founding director, the late Patrick J.V. Corcoran, M.D., and his wife, Margaret B. Corcoran, a nurse, who established an endowment to provide medical lectures to the Evansville community and scholarships to area medical students. Dr. Corcoran was a professor of medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine and assistant dean from 1971 to 1983. IUSM-Evansville is located on USI's campus.
