Seminar Series
Every year, the Cincinnati Children's Research Foundation, with the Molecular and Developmental Biology Graduate Program, hosts a weekly seminar series. Noted researchers from across the country come to Cincinnati Children's to talk about a variety of topics within molecular and developmental biology.
The seminar series is held on Wednesdays from 12 noon to 1 pm in the Research Auditorium, TCHRF 3381.
