Genetics Seminars
The Genetics Seminar programme hosts external speakers, prominent in their fields of
study. The aims of these seminars are to discuss a range of topics relevant to research in genetics, from fundamental research discoveries to translational applications, and we hope that these seminars will become a focus of social interaction between members of the College interested in genetics and genomics.
Also included in our seminar programme are the LeMID (Leicester Microbial Sciences Diseases Centre) and LCRC (Leicester Cancer Research Centre) seminars. Both LeMID and LCRC form part of the Department of Genetics and Genome Biology.
- GGB (Genetics and Genome Biology) Seminars are usually held on Wednesdays from 2:00 to 3:00pm.
- LeMID (Leicester Microbial Sciences Diseases Centre) seminars are usually held on Tuesdays from 12:00 to 1:00pm
