Each spring, the Primate Center hosts the Robert W. Goy Lecture Series.  Robert W. Goy, PhD, 1924-1999, was a professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin—Madison and Director of the Wisconsin Regional Primate Research Center from 1971-1989. Dr. Goy exemplified the best the University of Wisconsin—Madison has to offer in research, teaching, mentoring and creative inspiration.

Many of his students have become leaders in neurobiology, neuroendocrinology, behavioral endocrinology and primatology. He mastered these fields and changed the way we look at hormonal influences on reproduction, development and behavior. Dr. Goy was key in building the foundations of the Primate Center we know today, a leading institution of biomedical research and humane animal care.
