| In 1990 the Division of Surgery established The Grasberger Research Symposium in memory of Robert C. Grasberger, M.D., an outstanding graduate of our training program who died in 1986. In recognition of Bob’s academic and research accomplishments. The Grasberger Symposium provides an opportunity for our surgical residents and fellows to present original basic and clinical research. The tables on this page list presentations by surgical residents at the Grasberger Symposia in recent years. |
