Antman, MD and Wade Professor and Chair of Medicine, David L. Coleman, MD, both spoke of Dr. Seldin\u2019s critical contributions and wisdom and presented Dr. Seldin\u2019s family with a crystal plaque to commemorate the event.

The morning session concluded with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/buniverse\/view\/?v=c2lh10\">video presentation and tribute from George Murphy, PhD<\/a>, who could not be in attendance to honor his mentor.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu2016\/04\/Combined-Bios-3.23.16.pdf\">symposium speakers<\/a> were highlighted by three keynote presentations that included Jeffrey W.
