Join us for an evening lecture intertwining science and faith with the Reverend Fr. Nicanor Austriaco, O.P., Professor of Biological Sciences and Professor of Sacred Theology at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, Philippines, and a Professorial Lecturer in Philosophy (Bioethics) at the University of the Philippines, Diliman. He is also the current chairman of the National Transplant Ethics Committee of the Department of Health of the Philippines, which provides ethical oversight over all the organ transplants in the archipelago. Finally, he serves on the Private Sector Advisory Council (PSAC) Philippines, an advisory council to the President of the Philippines, where he is a member of the subcommittee on healthcare.

Following the lecture, complimentary refreshments and snacks will be served.

The Dr. Benjamin T. Chu Distinguished Lecture celebrates the meeting of faith and reason at Catholic institutions, as well as the major contribution that Norbertines have made through history to the sciences. The lecture invites scholars who not only have distinguished themselves in the physical sciences but who also have demonstrated that faith plays a significant role in their work and/or personal life.
