CCB Seminars

Center for Computational Biology Seminar Series

Considering the many advances in computational biology that have yet to come, it is pertinent for scientists in this discipline to connect with colleagues of similar research interests. To facilitate communication with fellow scientists, the Center for Computational Biology Seminar Series invites professors from national and international research institutions to talk about their current research.

2024– 2025 Seminars:  All in-person seminars will be held in Li Ka Shing or the Genetics & Plant Biology Building.  If you have accessibility needs, please contact us at ccbadmin@berkeley.edu.
