Esko Nikkilä lecture

Professor Esko Nikkilä (1926-86) was one of the pioneers of Finnish and international lipid and diabetes research, and his life's work continues to have a major impact on the Finnish scientific community. The Esko Nikkilä Fund was established for an invitation-only lecture just three weeks before his accidental death.

The Esko Nikkilä Lecturer will be selected by a committee of five members, two representing the Finnish Medical Association Duodecim, two from the Medical Faculty of the University of Helsinki and one from the Finnish Society of Internal Medicine. The Esko Nikkilä Lecture will be held in conjunction with the Annual meeting of the Finnish Society of Internal Medicine.
