National Institute of General Medical Sciences New Webinar Series

NIGMS has created a new webinar series for students, postdocs, and faculty. Each hour-long webinar includes a 10- to 15-minute presentation by the speaker followed by a moderated question and answer session. Our hope is that these webinars will enhance our trainees’ ongoing learning experiences, as well as benefit others in the scientific research community who may find them helpful. Meeting details will be added below as they become available. Participants requiring sign language interpretation should email info@nigms.nih.gov at least 3 days prior to the event.
