Annual Symposia
Each year students from the Graduate Training Program in Dynamic Aspects of Chemical Biology organize a chemical biology symposium at the University of Kansas. Each symposium features a keynote lecture from an invited internationally recognized researcher in the field of chemical biology, lectures from Training Program students, and poster presentations from Training Program and other students from the University of Kansas.
