Seminar Series
The Molecular Medicine Seminar Series provides a weekly forum for research presentations by faculty, students, and invited guest speakers of national and international prominence. The seminar is attended by students in the program, as well as faculty and guests from departments and programs across the University of Iowa, fostering an engaging environment for scientific exchange and discussion.
The seminar format is designed to encourage meaningful interaction between students and faculty. Faculty and invited guest speakers are introduced by a Molecular Medicine graduate student, who provides a brief overview of the speaker's research along with a personal introduction.
Seminars are held on Tuesdays from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in 1459 Pappajohn Biomedical Discovery Building (PBDB) unless otherwise noted in the schedule below.
