About the Lectureship
The M. Gazi and Dianne C.H. Yasargil Lectureship, “Advances in Neuroscience,” began in 2008 to honor the then-UAMS professor and his wife.
M. Gazi Yasargil, originally from Turkey, joined the UAMS faculty in 1994 and took professor emeritus status in 2013. He was a microneurosurgery pioneer and was named “Man of the Century 1950-1999” by the Congress of Neurological Surgeons for his extraordinary body of work, including the development of several tools used in microneurosurgery.
His wife, Dianne, was a nurse who developed a method of organizing surgical instruments into sets for different types of neurosurgeries and later founded the European Association of Neurosciences Nurses.
