*The THM lecture was created in 2009 to honor the research career of Thomas Hunt Morgan, a Lexington native and graduate of the University of Kentucky, and to honor the outstanding scientists whose work reflects the highest achievement in genetics, molecular biology, and developmental biology. This lecture gives scientists the opportunity to highlight their work to basic researchers, physician scientists, research faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate and undergraduate students.
