 n\nAbout this Event\n\nIn 1948—the same year our school was founded—th
 e National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (now March of Dimes) asked J
 onas Salk\, who had recently started at the University of Pittsburgh\, to 
 begin research on a vaccine for polio. By spring of 1955\, a massive natio
 nwide study with 1.8 million subjects conclusively demonstrated the Salk p
 olio vaccine was safe and effective and the nationwide inoculation campaig
 n began. The Jonas Salk Legacy Exhibit celebrates this work and the countl
 ess lives saved by public health vaccine initiatives. Materials displayed 
 in the exhibit are part of a generous gift to the University of Pittsburgh
  from the Jonas Salk family. \n\nPlease reach out to Assistant Director of
  Health Sciences Alumni Relations Marcie Johnson at marciej@pitt.edu with 
 any questions.
