Education is core to our mission – which is why IMMCG regularly offers seminars for those interested in deepening their understanding of immunology.
Organized by IMMCG faculty member Marco Orecchioni, these external seminars are usually held Tuesdays at noon. They’re open to any and all, inside and outside the university.
Unless otherwise noted, seminars are held in the M. Bert Storey Research Building, conference room 1209.
