Two Medical School professors will be members of a team of 15 scientists from seven countries who will leave for India within the week to exchange new medical knowledge with Indian scientists and doctors, it was announced yesterday.
Dr. Joseph C. Aub, Belmont Professor of Research Medicine, and Dr. John E. Gordon, professor of Preventive Medicine and Epidemiology, will join 13 world famous scientists for the trip to India. They will arrive at Madras February 4.
The expedition, under the joint sponsorship of the World Health Organization and the Unitarian Service Committee, is the 18th in a series which has taken scientists around the world. At the moment, a group of technical advisors are arranging a schedule of conferences and lectures with distinguished Indian scientists.
Both Harvard professors have made similar trips in recent years. Dr. Aub, world-renowned cancer expert, visited Czechoslovakia in 1946. He currently directs the Huntington Memorial Laboratories for Cancer Research at Massachusetts General Hospital, and is Chairman of the Department of Medicine at Harvard.
During World War II Dr. Gordon was chief of preventive medicine in the European theatre.
