The Robert E. Stowell Lectureship supports the annual appointment of a distinguished scientist as a visiting lecturer at the UC Davis School of Medicine. The lectureship, established in 1991, is named for its founder, an internationally renowned pathologist and educator who, before his retirement, served as the first chair of the School's Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. Stowell is the recipient of the nation's highest award in pathology, the American Association of Pathologists Gold-headed Cane.
