Multi-COBRE Seminar Series

This Multi-COBRE Seminar Series consists of three COBRE programs: University of Nevada, Reno (Nevada Center of Biomedical Research Excellence in Molecular and Cellular Signal Transduction in the Cardiovascular System), Brown University (Cardiopulmonary Vascular Biology (CPVB) and University of Mississippi Medical Center.

The goal of these seminars is to build a network of collaborations between programs of a similar focus by presenting ongoing research that could aid in fostering collaborations between young and new investigators and possibly, between cores supported by COBREs.
