About the Lectureship:

The Eugene M. Farber endowment was established by his family in memory of Dr. Farber’s scientific career and devotion to understanding the pathogenesis of psoriasis.  In 2007, the SID Board of Directors voted to create the Eugene M. Farber endowed lecture.  It is typically presented at the SID’s Annual Meeting (and Virtual ones) by an investigator whose work is relevant to expanding insights into the pathophysiology and treatment of psoriasis.
