Seminar series
As part of the vibrant culture within our School, we run a regular programme of seminars for staff and students. The 2020/21 seminar series is currently being held virtually due to coronavirus (COVID-19).
Seminars cover a variety of topics and themes which are linked to the School’s four research divisions:
- Molecular biosciences (MOLBIO)
- Neuroscience (NEURO)
- Organisms and environment (ONE)
- Biomedicine (BMD)
Please contact biosi-research@cardiff.ac.uk for Zoom joining information.
Preparatory material, where provided, is aimed at Integrated Masters students. Other users may not have access to all links.
