Barcelona BioMed Seminars

Leading international scientists from different areas of the biomedical sciences are invited to present and discuss their results and ideas in a series of weekly seminars. These seminars allow IRB Barcelona researchers and the local scientific community to learn about the latest developments in the life sciences, and provide an opportunity for direct contact with each seminar speaker. Barcelona BioMed Seminars are open to the scientific community, capacity permitting.
