2012-13 Biological Chemistry Distinguished Lecture Series


This series has been organized by a committee of departmental students, postdocs and faculty and is designed to give you the opportunity to meet exceptional scientists from other institutions and learn about their area of research. Preceding each seminar will be a 2-hour class, organized and run by the student/postdoc hosts of the speaker, that will provide an introduction to the research area and a discussion of two research papers from the speaker’s group that are relevant to the seminar topic. Class participants are invited to a catered lunch to meet the seminar speaker and discuss the research area in greater detail. There will also be opportunities to meet one-on-one with the speaker for especially interested students and postdocs. We strongly encourage all students, but particularly those in their second or third years, to participate in this class/seminar program. This is a terrific chance to learn about a broad array of research areas from leaders in these areas.

We will ask for reservations for the class/lunch because space is limited and so that we have an idea of the number of people who will attend.
