Cell Biology Journal Club
FALL 2025 Schedule: bi-weekly on Tuesdays from 12:00-1:00pm in Weill Hall, Room 321
“The CBJC has a long history. It began around 1985, and has been running continuously almost every Friday. It even survived the pandemic through a transition to virtual meetings and back again. Our resident Cornell historian, Tony Bretscher, estimates that the CBJC has discussed about 1,400 papers (I like to imagine journal clubs before powerpoint).” – Jorgensen, J. (2020), CBJC Listserv
CBJC Coordinator: Xuran Chen (xc532)
CBJC Faculty Advisor: Yuxin Mao (ym253)
The goal of CBJC is to bring together faculty and trainees in molecular and cellular biology to discuss exciting advances, exchange ideas, and foster collaborations. We invite volunteers to present cutting-edge papers in any area of cell biology. If you are interested in presenting, please email Xuran (xc532@cornell.edu).
