Molecular Cell Bio Group
The Molecular Cell Bio Group, hosted by the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology, is a monthly interdisciplinary meeting to provide opportunities for labs across Cornell’s Ithaca campus to network and share mechanistic biology research and knowledge related broadly to Cell and Molecular Biology. We hope these meetings encourage future collaborations and the sharing of materials and ideas.
Meetings will feature two talks presented by participating labs. Talks should be no longer than 25 minutes and relatively informal, covering research that is in progress and/or planned projects. Guest speakers may be invited from outside of Cornell on occasion.
