A Career as a Surgeon Scientist with Dr. Jeffrey Norton

What does it take to become a surgeon scientist? Professor Emeritus Dr. Jeffrey Norton, who has been operating and conducting basic science experiments for more than 40 years, says the key is fun. As he looks toward retirement, we take an opportunity to examine his legacy including his contributions to gene-directed surgery. We also talk about mentorship: his mentors Drs. Murray Brennan and Watts Webb, his mentees, and his mentorship philosophy. If you want to learn more about the research Dr. Norton has inspired, please join us at his festschrift on Friday, October 13 at Stanford’s Center for Academic Medicine.
