Student Research Day
2023 Farr Lecturer
This year’s Student Research Day will be a virtual event due to the ongoing public health concerns. This annual event will showcase students’ research through poster presentations, graduating student panel discussions, and prize-winning research presentations during the Jill and Lee Goldman M.D. '73 Plenary Scientific Session. The Farr lecture will be delivered by Dr. Rexford Ahima. The event will also include the awarding of the John N. Forrest Prize for Mentorship in Medical Student Research.
This year’s poster viewing will be accessible to all registered attendees starting Monday, May 1st. Please be sure to register! A link to the poster session will be sent to all registrants. The Office of Student Research encourages all to visit the students’ poster session, which provides an opportunity to not only view the outstanding research of our students, but to leave comments and questions for the students throughout the viewing week of May 1st.

John N. Forrest, Jr., M.D., Prize for Mentorship in Student Research
The John N. Forrest, Jr., M.D., Prize for Mentorship in Student Research was endowed at the Yale School of Medicine in 2020 by the Forrest family. The prize is awarded annually for exceptional mentoring by a faculty member in the area of medical student research.
Emeritus Faculty John N. Forrest, Jr., M.D., helped establish the YSM Office of Student Research in 1986, started the tradition of Student Research Day, and served as the director of OSR until he retired in late 2019.
The inaugural 2021 recipient was Silvia Vilarinho, M.D., Ph.D.
2022 Farr Lecturer: Dr. Rexford Ahima
Dr. Rexford Ahima is Professor of Medicine, Public Health and Nursing, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor, and the director of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Ahima did a BSc (endocrinology) at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School, University of London, MD at the University of Ghana, and PhD (neuroscience) at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. After completing internship and residency training in internal medicine at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Weiler Hospital and Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx, Dr. Ahima did clinical and research fellowships in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School in Boston. His research focuses on CNS and peripheral mechanisms in energy homeostasis, obesity and diabetes. Dr. Ahima has been elected to the National Academy of Medicine, American Society for Clinical Investigation, Association of American Physicians and American Association for the Advancement of Science. He is a former editor-in-chief of the Journal of Clinical Investigation and has served as visiting professor to Yale and other universities, and in various roles in the National Institutes of Health, Endocrine Society and several organizations.
Jill and Lee Goldman, MD ‘73 Plenary Scientific Session
The Jill and Lee Goldman, MD ‘73 Plenary Scientifc Session is made possible by an endowment established by the Goldmans in 2019. Dr. Goldman, who is a member of the Yale College Class of 1969 and Yale School of Medicine Class of 1973, is Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology at Columbia University, where he also is Dean Emeritus of the Faculties of Health Sciences and Medicine and former Chief Executive of Columbia University Irving Medical Center.
Dr. Goldman was previously the Julius R. Krevans Professor and Chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, and a Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology at Harvard. He serves as lead editor of Goldman-Cecil Medicine.
Jill S. Goldman, MS, MPhil (Yale 1971), is Professor of Genetic Counseling in Neurology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and a genetic counselor at the Taub Institute in the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. Ms. Goldman also is the editor of the textbook Genetic Counseling for Adult Neurogenetic Diseases: A Casebook for Clinicians. She created “A Friend for Rachel,” a companionship program in which people with early to moderate dementia are paired with Columbia pre-medical students.
The Goldmans are delighted to support medical student research because Yale and the thesis experience fundamentally changed their lives.
Lee E. Farr Lectureship
The Lee E. Farr M.D. Endowed Lectureship was established at Yale University School of Medicine in 1988 by Dr. Lee E. Farr. The purpose of this lectureship is “to stimulate thinking and to inspire students to strive to achieve more efective leadership and educational roles in society.”
Dr. Farr, Yale College '29, MD '33, was a preeminent physician who was the medical director and physician-in-chief of the hospital at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, New York, where he participated in the design of the world's first nuclear reactor built primarily for medical purposes. He was one of the original specialists in nuclear medicine and practiced and taught at various times in Delaware, New York, Texas, California, and Oregon. Dr. Farr served as a member of the Advisory Commission on Naval Medical Research and analyzed medical efects on atomic bomb victims as a member of the Advisory Commission on the Atomic Bomb, of which he was chairman from 1954 to 1968. He had received innumerable awards and honors and written many articles on nuclear medicine, nuclear reactors, protein metabolism, emergency medical services, and radioactive and chemical environmental contaminants.
The Farr Lectureship is held in memory of Lee E. Farr, MD, who died on July 16, 1997.
