John Mendelsohn, M.D., president of MD Anderson, gave the Mavis P. Kelsey Lecture, established in 2009 by the Kelsey Research Foundation. The lecture series’ namesake, Mavis P. Kelsey, M.D., co-founder of Kelsey-Seybold Clinic, began working part-time at MD Anderson in 1949, specializing in thyroid disease. During his 20 years at the institution, he developed a clinical isotope program, established an endocrine clinic and worked on constructing a Geiger counter to determine thyroid uptake of radioiodine. Kelsey was the first Houston physician to hold a license from the Atomic Energy Commission to administer radioisotopes to humans.
