Washington Global Health Alliance Discovery Series

A collaboration with the Department of Global Health and the Washington Global Health Alliance, this lecture series was initiated to spark discussion within the university and community about drug discovery and science and other relevant topics of importance to the field of global health. The series is co-led by faculty members Scott McClelland and Tom Hawn and administered by the GHRC. It is typically held monthly on the University of Washington campus. The lecture is followed by a networking reception.
