Seminars organized across Fall, Winter and Spring schedules define an integral component of the TSRI academic environment. Unless otherwise noted, all seminars are held on Mondays, from 4 to 5 p.m. in The Committee Lecture Hall of the Molecular Biology Building at TSRI. (Map to THE COMMITTEE Lecture Hall)
Each speaker spends the day interacting with Faculty, Fellows, Students and Scientific Staff in the Department of Cell Biology. These more personal exchanges broaden and deepen our appreciation for the speaker's work and allow us to consider how their work intersects and complements our own efforts at TSRI. Seminars are open to all in the San Diego scientific community. Our colleagues from local Institutions such as UCSD, GNF, The Burnham Institute, Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center and the burgeoning biotechnology industry of San Diego are encouraged to attend.
