The 1st Southeastern Regional Lipid
Conference Oak Ridge, TN (March 29-30, 1966)
Excerpt from ORAU Medical Division Report
101 An informal regional lipid meeting was
sponsored by ORAU on March 29-30, 1966. The main
purpose was to provide closer contact of faculty
and graduate students engaged in lipid research
within a few hundred miles of Oak Ridge, and
attendance was limited to lipid groups from
Vanderbilt University, University of Tennessee,
University of North Carolina, University of South
Carolina, and ORAU Medical Division. In addition
to presentations by the participants, two invited
lectures were arranged.

Excerpt from ORAU Medical Division Report
106 In March the Medical Division sponsored a
Lipid Conference with more than 40 participants
from five universities, all ORAU sponsoring
institutions. There were two invited guest
speakers and 25 papers were presented by the
participants. These lipid meetings, originated
by Dr. Fred Snyder, emphasize participation by
graduate students and have proved highly
successful.
