The first Van Liere Research Conference was held in 1965 and recognized the research of medical students in the School of Medicine. Dr. Edward J. Van Liere, the dean of the School of Medicine from 1937 to 1960, developed the two-year medical school into a four-year accredited program.
The conference has continued to grow in terms of participation and the scope of the research presented over the past several years. The celebration of the diversity of investigations and investigators continues to highlight the excitement around research at WVU Health Sciences.
