Seminar Schedule

Fall 2012 – Spring 2013

 

The COM Research Seminar series is designed to serve all graduate student, post-doc and faculty researchers in the College of Medicine and/or affiliated with the IDP.  An outstanding menu of speakers is being recruited, representing a broad range of interests.  Speakers are encouraged to pitch their talks to a broad audience without compromising detail or rigor.  We hope that all faculty, post-docs & graduate students will make an effort to incorporate this event into their regular weekly schedule of activities.  Faculty members interested in meeting individually with guest speakers should contact the speaker’s host.
