Great to see so many colleagues and community members attend @UUtah’s 2025 Benning Society Lecture. This lecture brings leading-edge medical research to the public by featuring scientists who are shaping the future of medicine. We were honored to hear from Jeffrey M. Friedman, MD, PhD, whose pioneering research has transformed our understanding of obesity and related diseases. We’re grateful to researchers like Dr. Friedman and our Benning Presidential Endowed Chairs for their continued efforts to address today’s most significant health challenges.
