Events

The DRSB Graduate Program welcomes prominent outside speakers to campus through the DRSB Seminar Series and Developmental Biology Symposia. The speakers are chosen and hosted entirely by our students, allowing them to make strong connections with the leaders in their chosen fields.

We also provide ample opportunity for our students to present their own work, and to learn about the work of their peers, through the DRSB Data Club and Molecular Biosciences Retreat.

Seminars are held Tuesdays at 4:00 PM in Cummings Life Sciences Center, Room 101
