The Komrower Lecture is an annual award given by the SSIEM. This lecture is delivered each year at the SSIEM Symposium by someone who is considered, by the SSIEM Council, to have made a major contribution to Inborn Errors of Metabolism. The SSIEM Council is responsible for inviting the Komrower Lecturer but will seek the opinion of the Local Organising Committee for the Symposium.
The Komrower Lecturer is introduced by the Chairperson of the SSIEM and there are no questions after the lecture.
