Division of Biomedical Sciences Presents...
In order to celebrate accomplishments and bring in speakers presenting topics of general interest to the Biomedical Sciences, the Division has decided to present a Divisional Seminar.
Each Department of the Division is urged to bring forward speakers that they think will present topics that will bring many people together.
