Current Research Seminars

Current Research Seminars is a series of talks given by visiting speakers from around the world to present their research findings. Students are required to register for BME 496 Current Research Seminars every semester they are in the program with the exception of the final semester in which they defend their MS or PhD thesis. However, students will need to continue attending the seminar in their dissertation semester until the MS or PhD thesis defense is scheduled. Students are allowed to miss 2 presentations each semester and still receive a passing grade. Students who miss seminar due to attending a scientific conference will be excused. Students who miss more than 2 seminars without prior approval will need to write a 2-3 page summary describing the work of each speaker whose seminar was missed. These summaries must be sent to the Program Director and Graduate Coordinator within one week of the missed class.
