The Molecular Biology Department’s seminar program is one of the very best on campus.
We make a strong effort to bring in visiting scientists who can provide a entertaining,
enlightening, and current research report on an important area of molecular biology.
Shown below is a listing of the current semester’s seminar speakers. Shown below is
a listing of the current semester’s seminar speakers. Note that departmental seminars
during Fall 2007 semester will start at 2:10 pm. in room 103 of the Animal Science/Molecular
Biology building.
