Sign up for our mailing list to receive news about the Genome Sciences public lecture series.
The UW Department of Genome Sciences played an important role in determining the sequence of the 3 billion letters of DNA specifying all of our hereditary information and is now one of the leading centers where the human genome is being interpreted and where new technologies for this analysis are being developed.
To share these advances with the public the Department of Genome Sciences hosts a quarterly public lecture series.
These exciting discussions assume no background knowledge in genetics or other biological subjects and provide opportunities to chat with our presenters.
Admission is free and open to anyone interested. Registration may be required for some events due to room capacity. While UW affiliation is required to view the lecture remotely, it is not required to view lecture recordings, once these are available.
All lectures take place on the UW campus in Seattle.
