CMB Seminar

The CMB seminars exhibit the breadth of research being conducted among CMB laboratories by CMB students. CMB Seminar is hosted weekly and presented by current CMB students who share their dissertation research, including background, methods, results, and discussion. CMB faculty and students are expected to attend and participate by enriching discussion with questions and conversation, in addition to providing students constructive feedback. 

Our seminars are open to all in the University community. If you would like to be included on our weekly seminar announcement email distribution list, please email us.
