Cell and Molecular Biology Seminar Series

The Cell & Molecular seminar series gives Biology graduate students an opportunity to share their ongoing research. Each student presentation is followed by a question-and-answer discussion. Students attending the seminars also provide written feedback to presenters on the strengths of the seminar, along with areas for improvement related to both content and delivery.

This year, the Cell & Molecular Seminar Series will be held Tuesdays from 12:30 to 1:30 pm in NCB 293.

For further information please contact Thomas DeFalco.
