HudsonAlpha Research Seminars
The HudsonAlpha Research Seminars bring together experts in genetics, genomics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, medicine and immunology for free, public presentations and debate among the scientific community. The seminars also provide valuable academic learning and discussion opportunities for scientists training in labs at HudsonAlpha and at Alabama Universities. Seminars are hosted by researchers at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology from October through May, and they are typically held on Wednesdays at noon in the Wayne R.
