J.S. and H.R Blumenthal Memorial Lectureship Series
Since its establishment in 1963, the J.S. and H.R. Blumenthal Memorial Lectureship Series has featured distinguished speakers in the field of allergy and immunology.
This lectureship was founded in honor of Dr. Jacob Solomon Blumenthal, a graduate of the University of Minnesota Medical School. After completing his training in Internal Medicine, Dr. Blumenthal developed a keen interest in Allergy and Immunology. He went on to create the Allergy Program at the University, making significant contributions as a clinician, educator, and researcher. Following his death, his family and friends established the lectureship to bring leading experts in Allergy and Immunology to the University of Minnesota.
Dr. Blumenthal's spouse, Hannah Rachel Blumenthal, was also deeply involved with the University, both as an educator and a supporter of the Allergy Program. Her efforts were crucial in the founding of this lectureship. In her honor, and to commemorate their shared contributions, the lectureship was renamed the Jacob Solomon and Hannah Rachel Blumenthal Lectureship in Allergy and Immunology after her passing.
The lectureship has been sustained through the enduring support of Dr. Malcolm Blumenthal, a renowned physician-scientist and allergist, and his spouse, Marsha Blumenthal. Although Dr. Malcolm Blumenthal has since passed away, his and Marsha's commitment to the lectureship's mission has been steadfast, with their family continuing to honor their legacy and support the series in their memory.
