Shriners Research Seminar Series

Throughout the year, it is our pleasure to invite speakers from around the world for a chance to discuss and share with our staff the latest information in their respective fields. Often organized by our various investigators, they have become an important part of our Center's ongoing collaboration with other researchers and facilities.

Some of our past speakers have included Clifford Tabin from Harvard Medical School, Andy McMahon from Harvard University, Daniel Cohen from UCLA, Rocky Tuan from the National Institute of Health, David Russell from the University of Washington, and Reinhard Fassler from the Max-Planck Institute in Germany. Recently, we hosted Ulrike Mayer from the University of Manchester. She presented a lecture on the genetic analysis of integrin function in skeletal muscle.
