    Joint Seminar Series

    About

    This initiative is a partnership between the LSI, our three resident departments, Microbiology and Immunology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and Cellular and Physiological Sciences, as well as our close collaborators, the Department of Zoology, and the Faculty of Dentistry. Our aim is to present a series of highly compelling and transdisciplinary seminars by world-class researchers. Join us in welcoming our fascinating lineup of speakers and stay afterwards to socialize in the West Atrium!
