Events
Established in 1992, the annual lecture series is hosted by the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics and honors Efraim Racker, who during his scientific career made seminal contributions to our understanding of basic cell metabolism and its role both in normal physiology and in diseases such as cancer. The Racker Lectures bring eminent scientists to Cornell who have made important contributions in the fields of biology, chemistry and medicine. Each scientist presents a public and an academic-technical lecture related to Racker’s research.

An A.D. White Professors-at-Large keynote public event
Ellen Rothenberg (Distinguished Professor of Biology, California Institute of Technology; A.D. White Professor-at-Large at Cornell) will present the lecture “Decoding the genomic program to generate T cells” on Thursday, September 14, at 4pm, in Lecture Hall 5, College of Veterinary Medicine.
A reception will follow in the Atrium.
This event is part of an A.D. White Professors-at-Large (ADW-PAL) visit and is cosponsored by the Cornell Center for Immunology, Dept. of Microbiology and Immunology and the Dept. of Molecular Biology and Genetics. Rothenberg visits the Cornell campus in Ithaca as an ADW-PAL September 11-15. She was elected as an ADW-PAL in 2021. Her appointment runs through 2027.

Join us for a virtual alumni panel for Black students interested in CS, Pre-Med, and Mechanical Engineering on Wednesday, August 30th at 6 pm EST. During the event, you will have the opportunity to learn from Black alumni in the field, get tips on navigating your major, explore diverse career paths, connect with Black mentors through the CBAA app, and hear from campus departments and organizations about the resources available to help you succeed.
Whether you’re a first-year student starting your academic journey or an upperclassman mapping out your career, this panel is for you.
