A seminar series entitled "Topics in Organogenesis" offers lectures by University of Michigan faculty and invited speakers from outside of the University. All lectures are held on Thursdays at 3:30pm in room 5915 Buhl unless otherwise noted. All outside speakers are guests of the Center for Organogenesis. The Center is also actively involved in co-sponsoring invited speakers with various departments within the University.

Fellowship awardees are required to attend this series. Attendance of other students and trainees is strongly encouraged because these seminars expose them to new directions of thought and, new research opportunities that they might not otherwise have encountered within the confines of their own training programs.
