Cell Biology Club

Cell Biology Club is a bi-weekly meeting for all trainees at MICB. Trainee presentations are focused on recent data with special emphasis on the last 2-4 months of research.
Presentations will be concise with a brief introduction to your project, most recent data, problem(s) you encountered, what you did to overcome these problems and the data that resulted.
Trainees are expected to present all recent data, including positive and negative results, in order to generate discussion from audience members.
All MICB students are expected to attend ALL Cell Biology Club Seminars. Supervisors will be notified if their student fails to attend regularly.
