Seminars
Research and Knowledge
Physiology Forum (Fall 2011)
Physiology Forums (Spring 2012)
Our program strives to provide the students, fellows and staff a well-rounded research educational experience. We have a variety research oriented seminar forums offered once a week, which frequently draws well-known speakers from outside institutions.
Seminars are offered on Fridays at 11:00 a.m in Durham Research Center, Room 1004 unless otherwise noted.
