Biomedical Sciences Program Seminars
Monthly "Research in Progress" Seminars
Zoom Forum: Meeting ID will be available one week prior to the seminar date.
Fall 2020 (Second Fridays of each month), Noon-1 PM.
The monthly Biomedical Sciences Program-wide Seminar Series will focus on ongoing research across UNF and the Mayo Clinic laboratories. The goal of this series is to bring Biomedical Sciences research- oriented faculty/students together to learn about the state-of-the-art research. The series aim to foster cross-disciplinary collaborations, publications and grant applications.
