Joint Seminars in Molecular Biology
All Joint Seminars in Molecular Biology are held on Thursdays, from 4:10 - 5:00 p.m. in Life Sciences Room 1022.
The Joint Seminars in Molecular Biology series is sponsored by:
The College of Biological Sciences, Graduate Groups in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and Cell & Developmental Biology, Department of Molecular & Cellular Biology, Departments of Biological Chemistry and Cell Biology & Human Anatomy, the Molecular & Cellular Biology Training Grant (NIH), and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
The schedules for winter 2010 and spring 2010 are below fall quarter on this page.
