Molecular Biophysics (16:696:601,602)

The seminar course combines the research presentations of invited speakers with preparatory study and student presentations. Seminars focus on themes not generally covered in introductory or advanced course work. Students learn to think critically about current research and to identify significant problems to study.  

During the Spring 2006 semester the course is being held in conjunction with a Workshop.
The workshop will be held Thursday April 20 and Friday April 21, 2006 at DIMACS on the Busch Campus.
All students in the Seminar Class are expected to attend the workshop.
Information about the workshop is available on the DIMACS website.
