Thursdays at 2:00 pm in the Armenise Amphitheater (unless otherwise noted)

For more than 25 years, the Cell Bio Seminar Series has featured outstanding researchers studying key questions in cell biology and related fields. This series takes place every other week on Thursdays, alternating with a seminar series hosted by our neighboring department, Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology (BCMP). During their visit, invited researchers meet with faculty, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows. These talks are open to all members of the Harvard research and medical communities, including those based in affiliated hospitals.

Seminars will be in-person only in the Armenise Amphitheater typically from 2:00 - 3:00 pm on Thursdays starting in January 2025 due to construction on the West Quad. Seminars denoted with * will be on Wednesdays at 12:30 pm. For more information, please contact cell_bio_events@hms.harvard.edu.

Similarly, BCMP seminars will be also in-person only in the Armenise Amphitheater, typically from 2:00 - 3:00 pm on Thursdays. For more information, contact: Kristen_Parker@hms.harvard.edu.

Please sign up for seminar notifications or check our calendar for exceptions.
