FitzGerald Seminars
The FitzGerald Seminar Series on Communicable Disease Control brings together experts from public health, academia, clinicians and industry under one roof and provides a forum for the discussion of emerging "hot topics" in communicable disease control. It is named in honour of Dr. J.G. FitzGerald, a pioneering Canadian vaccinologist and founding Dean of the University of Toronto School of Hygiene, which was the forerunner of the DLSPH.
