Seminars (2010-2012)

The CVB seminar series for distinguished speakers in vascular biology are well attended by scientists from Weill Cornell and neighboring institutions. In addition scientists present their findings at weekly reseach in progress meetings (Wednesdays at 12 noon). CVB also participates in the journal club (Fridays 10-11 am) together with the Division of Hematology/ Oncology.
