The Distinguished Speaker Series aims to bring prominent experts from various fields to share their knowledge, insights, and experiences.
The CTSC Distinguished Speaker Series will be a monthly series on the last Wednesday or Thursday of the month from 12-1 pm. This series will highlight nationally recognized researchers in clinical and translational science. We hope to showcase the innovative work that other CTSA's are working on.
These seminars will mostly be held virtually via zoom, but occasionally will be in person. Be sure to check the schedule below for the location.
