Distinguished Lecture Series

Distinguished Lecture Series

The IBS Distinguished Lecture Series is an ongoing series featuring early career professionals working in the field (within 10 years of PhD completion). 

The primary purpose of the Distinguished Lecture Series is to reach out and encourage young people globally through inspiring lectures from younger experienced individuals in the Biostatistical field. Speakers are identified by fellow IBS Members. The IBS Education Committee administers the program.
