UNF’s Biomedical Sciences program in the College of Arts & Sciences is hosting bi-monthly "Research in Progress" virtual seminars to help bring biomedical sciences research-oriented faculty and students together to learn about current, state-of-the-art research.
The Biomedical Sciences program is a cross-disciplinary initiative within UNF. Partnerships with hospitals, research institutes, biotech industry and other universities are projected, and the research conducted by faculty in the program contributes to fields such as biotechnology, bioinformatics, drug discovery, genomics and healthcare.
The bi-monthly seminar series will occur throughout the semester and will focus on ongoing research across UNF and the Mayo Clinic laboratories with the goal to foster cross-disciplinary collaborations, publications and grant applications.
