About the MCBB Seminar Series
The Molecular Cell Biology and Biotechnology (MCBB) seminar series is an interdepartmental seminar series in the life sciences funded by Fralin Life Science Institute, CALS, and VBI. Seminars are held (nearly) every week during spring and fall semesters. During Fall 2009 (unless otherwise noted), seminars are every Friday at 12:20pm at Virginia Bioinformatics Institute Conference Center.
