Biomedical Imaging Research Seminar Series

This is a new research seminar series in Biomedical Imaging, which is being organized jointly by the Department of Radiology and CBIC at Weill Cornell Medical College. The series is designed to highlight the work of scientists who are developing and applying new techniques in medical imaging and analysis for the diagnosis, treatment and understanding of disease, and to serve as a forum for discussion.

Schedule for 2009

All seminars will be held at 4:00 pm in the Uris Faculty Room (A-126) on the first Thursday of the month unless otherwise noted. Refreshments will be served at 3:45 pm.
