ATC Seminar Series
The Advanced Technology Core group hosts a seminar series presented by core directors on emerging technologies and their applications in biomedical research. The goal of these seminars is to inform and update the general faculty and research staff of Baylor on the latest technical capabilities and instrumentation of ATC cores with examples of their applications to research problems using projects of major core users as examples. Seminars are monthly and are announced on the ATC web site and through email list serves and other venues. PDFs of recent seminars are posted below as they become available.
Series Contact: Steven Ludtke, Ph.D. 713-798-9020, sludtke@bcm.edu.
Seminar Time: 1-2 p.m.
