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. Note that departmental
seminars during Spring 211 semester will start at 2:10 pm. in room 13 of the Animal
Science/Molecular Biology building.

Our lab has a long-standing interest in the means by which the cytoskeleton controls
cell division, wound healing, and endocytosis. We have developed several model systems
that help simplify analysis of complex, cytoskeleton-dependent processes; these are
described in our recent publications.”
