Purpose:
Journal Clubs are run jointly with the Cell Regulation Graduate Program to provide students with exposure to a broad spectrum of cellular and biochemical research.
Six to seven journal clubs are offered each semester on a diverse set of topics that change each semester and year. Each journal club is run by two to three faculty members who select a group of papers on a specific subject of their choice. Students chose which journal club they participate in each semester from among the topics offered. Papers are presented by students, while faculty mentors assist in facilitating discussion amongst the audience.
Time and Date:
1 hour per week. Times, locations and topics vary. See below or contact Program Office for schedule.
Expectations:
All track students are required to actively participate in a Journal Club each semester that they are in the program. More than 3 absences (for any reason) in any given semester, or failure to suitably participate, will result in a grade of Unsatisfactory for this component of training.
