BMB Journal Club

Tuesdays | 11:45am – 12:35pm

Each week, a student in the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Advanced Concentration presents a journal article from the current literature to the group of BMB students, postdocs, and faculty.

Seminars & Journal Clubs

In addition to formal courses, there are many active seminar series and journal clubs within the College of Medicine that provide students with presentations by experts in the field and engaging discussions on current topics in biomedical research.

Tuesdays | 11:45am | Communicore C1-4

BMB Journal Club | BCH 6936

Each week, a student in the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Advanced Concentration presents a journal article from the current literature to the group of BMB students, postdocs, and faculty. Senior (4th year) students have the option of giving a research seminar or presenting a journal article. One faculty member and one or two students are assigned as “readers” and they are available to answer questions and help with the preparation of the presentation. The readers also provide the student with feedback on the presentation to aid in the development of strong presentation skills and the ability to critically evaluate scientific work.

Mondays | 3:00pm | ARB R3-265

Recent Advances in Structural Biology Journal Club | BCH 6877

Literature on structural biology, presented by students and faculty, discussed in depth. Emphasis is on current developments, data interpretation and critical analysis. Classes are held informally in small groups.
