The Salzman Symposium and Memorial Award Program was made possible through an endowment held by the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health.  Mrs. Lenore Salzman established the endowment in memory of her husband, Dr. Norman P. Salzman, and it is supported by continued individual contributions. The program gives an award for innovative and creative research in the field of virology to an outstanding postdoctoral fellow from NIH, FDA, or SAIC-Frederick.

This year’s 11th  Annual Norman P. Salzman Memorial Award and Symposium in Virology took place on Friday, November 6, 2009 with a focus on “Viruses: Scourges of the Host, Surveyors of the Cell” at Natcher Conference Center on the NIH campus.

The 2009 Norman P. Salzman Memorial Award in Virology was presented to Yu Liang, Ph.D., Molecular Genetics Section, Laboratory of Viral Diseases, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The program has expanded into a half-day symposium with tributes to Dr. Salzman, an award presentation, and lecture presentations by selected keynote speakers.
