2020-2021 Infectious Diseases & Immunity Colloquium
The Center for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases (CBEID), the Center for Tropical Diseases (CTD), and the Departments of Microbiology & Immunology (M&I) and Pathology
at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas, sponsor
this colloquium each year. This colloquium was created to benefit
students and faculty, among others who are interested in hearing
different speakers from the U.S. and around the world present their
research related to infectious diseases and immunity. These seminars are
held every Tuesday from 12-1 between September, 2020 - May, 2021. Currently, due to COVID-19, these are held virtually but when we are able to meet in person again, they will be held in 2.212 Basic Science Auditorium. We encourage you to join us for these
insightful topics.
If you have any questions regarding one of the upcoming seminars, please contact the hosting Center/Department: Angela Culler (CBEID), and Tina Brasher (M&I).
