MedChem Seminars
Medicinal Chemistry Department seminars involve a mix of prominent researchers from both academic institutions and industry presenting research at the forefront of Medicinal Chemistry (broadly defined) and presentations from our own students (dissertation defenses & research seminars). Seminars are held most Thursdays at 11 a.m. in 1544 North University Building (NUB) unless otherwise stated. Select a semester from the drop-down menu below to browse the schedule.
