Distinguished Lecture Series in Physiology
Each year the Department of Physiology invites distinguished researchers to present their work on topics broadly related to physiology. Topics range from those closely aligned with the research interests of the department to areas of interest to researchers across the UC Davis campus and the UC Davis School of Medicine. Seminars will be on Thursdays at 12 p.m. (unless otherwise noted) in GBSF Auditorium and Zoom.
Contact: Jorge Contreras <jecontrer@ucdavis.edu>, Theanne Griffith <tgriffith@ucdavis.edu>.
