Boston University neurologist Ann McKee, a William Fairfield Warren Distinguished Professor, delivered the 2026 University Lecture. Her talk, held at the Tsai Performance Center February 5, focused on the brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). As director of the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center and CTE Center at Boston University, McKee has studied the brains of thousands of athletes, veterans, and others who have been exposed to repeated brain trauma. The University Lecture was established in 1950 to honor members of the Boston University faculty engaged in outstanding research and creative pursuits.
