CCNR hosts a seminar series, in which internal and external speakers are invited to present their research and/or lead brainstorming sessions on how to promote neuroscience research within our system.
Announcements for upcoming seminars are added to the calendar on this website and distributed via the Pediatric Research and CCNR email lists. If you are interested in being added to either of these email lists or leading one of these seminars, or would like to recommend someone to lead a seminar, please email CCNR Program Manager Gillian Glauber.
