The BME seminars are held every second Wednesday to discuss the research projects of students and faculty, and to host invited speakers. Seminars are usually held at 1pm in room 321 of the Lyman-Duff Medical Sciences Building. They are usually attended by approximately 30 members of faculty,students and fellows.
We will also hold more informal technical seminars on the other Wednesdays. These are indicated with a 'Technical Seminar:' in the title and are held at 12 noon (instead of 1pm).
The following is a list of dates, speakers and titles for the 1999-2000 season:
