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.
