Founders Vicki and Fred Modell of the Jeffrey Modell
Foundation, established in 1987 in memory of their son,
Jeffrey, who died at the age of 15 from complications of
Primary Immunodeficiency (PI), hosted a special dinner at
the Harvard Club and ribbon- cutting ceremony to celebrate
the opening of the Jeffrey Modell Immunology Center at
Harvard Medical School.
To commemorate this monumental achievement, JMF hosted a
series of events including the second symposium of the
Robert A.
Good Immunology Society with 30 of the world’s leading
immunologists speaking, a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the
Jeffrey
Modell Immunology Center, and a tour of the new Robert A.
Good Library and the Fred S. Rosen Lecture hall to honor
their
roles as founding fathers of modern immunology. The day
concluded with a private dinner at the Harvard Club,
featuring an
incredible performance by the famed Boston Children’s Chorus
followed by a special address from D. Holmes Morton, M.D.,
Founder of the Clinic for Special Children, located in the
