Belfort
Lectures

|
The
Belfort Lectures
were established and endowed by Dr. Anne D. Belfort in memory of her late
husband Dr. Alan M. Belfort, who was awarded a Ph.D. degree from Purdue
University in carbohydrate chemistry in 1960. Support for the
Belfort Lectures is generously continued by Alan and Anne's daughter Anne
E. Belfort. Persons honored by being chosen to give a Belfort
Lecture are scientists who have made outstanding contributions to
glycoscience.
