Statistical Genetics Seminar Series

Welcome to Statistical Genetics Seminar Series. The Statistical Genetics Seminar Series is held on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month at 9:30am (September through May) in 801 Massachusetts Ave Crosstown building room CT332 and zoom. The goal is to get to know each other, learn cutting edge research, foster collaboration, and get help. At each session one person or a group of participants or an invited outside speaker presents (formally/informally), usually pertaining to his or her area of expertise, interest or research area, or leads a discussion. Our participants include a mix of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics students, in addition to Faculty members involved in genetics research.
