GSI Seminar Series
A semimonthly series held on the first and third Tuesdays from 3:00-4:00pm in
X 714-715. The dual goals of this seminar series are to invite
extramural speakers who are internationally recognized researchers at the
vanguard of genetics and genomics research, and to sponsor intramural speakers
in an effort to build interactions and collaborations among Boston University
investigators engaged in genetics and genomics research.
If you would like to join the GSI Seminar Committee, have suggestions for
invited speakers, or if you would like to present an intramural seminar, please
email gsi@bu.edu.
