Stanford Diabetes Work-In-Progress Seminar Series
Participants: Members of Participating Stanford Research Groups
Meeting Time: Every Friday, 12:00-1:00 pm
Meeting Location: Beckman 302, Developmental Biology Library
Meeting Forum:
Each session, held weekly, includes one or two speakers who provide an overview followed by a detailed discussion of their ongoing diabetes-related research. Presentation topics range from clinical research to basic science investigation, promoting exchange of knowledge and collaboration between these spheres. The presentation format encourages questions and discussion both during and after each presentation. Presentations primarily focus on un-published work and as these meetings are intended to build new collaborations, share new insights (particularly new technologic innovations and how they might be applied) and facilitate new ideas/ research directions. Presenters and attendees include everyone from professors to undergraduate students. Thus this venue also aligns with our center’s training mission. Typical attendance is ~30-40 individuals per session. Snacks and drinks are provided to facilitate informal socializing and discussion following the presentations when in-person meetings are possible.
