Regular seminars in Molecular Biology and Genetics are generally given at 4:00 PM on Fridays in G10 Biotechnology Building (large conference room). However, we have quite a few special seminars given on alternate days of the week, please check the date carefully. Seminars that are not held in G10 Biotechnology Building or are at a time other than 4:00 PM will be otherwise noted.
