We are thrilled to invite you to celebrate the remarkable research accomplishments of our learners and to foster collaboration within the Duke Department of Medicine at our highly anticipated 3rd Annual Department of Medicine Research Day.
Mark your calendars for Friday, November 21, 2025, in the Great Hall of Trent Semans!
Keynote Speaker
Kick off the day with a special Medicine Grand Rounds featuring esteemed keynote speaker Ivan Maillard, MD, PhD. As the Laurence Joseph Dinner Chair in Leukemia Research and head of the Division of Hematologic Malignancies at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, Dr. Maillard brings invaluable experience in treating lymphoma and leukemia, focusing on reducing the side effects of bone marrow transplantation.
Dr. Maillard is dedicated to training and mentoring a new generation of scientists and physician-scientists working on blood and cancer research, as well as hematopoietic cell transplantation. His research focuses on the role of Notch signaling in hematopoiesis as well as in T and B cell development, differentiation and function.
His insights are sure to set the stage for a day packed with scientific discussions.
