Dr. Basai, welcome.

So good morning and thank you so much for this very kind introduction.

No pressure here, right? And I would like to say that this is truly an honor to be here and also meet all of you since I have recently moved to Portland.

And also to be given this honor to give this lectureship for Dr. Kammer, who has been such a giant in the field of teaching and disseminating knowledge and educating the next generation, which is so important.

And Dr. Kammer has seen here in these photos that Dr. McClunk so graciously shared with me was the quintessential example of what a true clinician and educator is.

So with that, I'm just going to disclose my conflict of interest.

I receive research funding, both from NIH Foundation, as well as I work with many of our partners in industry in the designing of some of these trials that have taught us important lessons.

out.
