Molecular Biology - Work in Progress Seminars (WIPS)

Our Work in Progress seminars are intended primarily for Doctoral candidates to prepare for or deliver their Ph.D. Seminar presentations. Master's students are also welcome to discuss their research and seek feedback. The student reps for WIPs are Maggie Chang (maggie.chang [at] mail.mcgill.ca) and Shannon Sim (shannon.sim [at] mail.mcgill.ca).
