Faculty of the former Department of Physiology and Biophysics will host a symposium honoring the 18-year chairmanship of Peter K. Lauf, M.D., on Saturday, September 20, in the WSU Student Union. The symposium is free and open to the WSU community.

After retiring as department chair in July, Dr. Lauf was appointed University Professor and Professor of Pathology at Wright State. At that time, Physiology and Biophysics merged with Anatomy to form the new Department of Anatomy and Physiology.

Dr. Lauf is symposium director of Cell Volume and Signal Transduction, an international symposium supported by the NIH which will be held September 20-24 in the Student Union.
