Center for Neuroengineering & Medicine Announces 2022-2023 Seminar Series Speakers
We are delighted to announce the final list of invited speakers for the center's seminar series.
The Center for Neuroengineering & Medicine continues its annual seminar series with monthly presentations during the academic year 2022-2023. Speakers were nominated by center-affiliated faculty who will serve as faculty hosts. They hail from prestigious neuroengineering programs at universities all over the country, such as University of Chicago, University of Washington, University of Pittsburgh, UC San Diego, Washington University in St. Louis, and University of Michigan.
All UC Davis students, faculty, clinicians, postdoctoral fellows, and researchers interested in neuroengineering are invited to attend. We expect attendees from engineering, medicine, neuroscience, computational neuroscience, biological science, and other fields.
All seminars will take place in Kemper Hall, room 1003 on the first Wednesday of the month, starting at 4:10 PM. Attendees are encouraged to attend in person and follow all COVID-19 safety precautions in place at the time of each event. Zoom links will be available for attendees at the UC Davis Health System in Sacramento and others who cannot attend in person. Faculty interested to meet with the speakers should contact the faculty host at the email address listed, with cc to Gabriela Lee (gmlee@ucdavis.edu).
