Work in Progress Seminars

The objective of the Work-in-Progress seminars is to educate and train members in the latest developments in targeted therapeutics and nanomedicine, and to provide opportunities for networking and identifying areas of collaboration with local faculty.  WIP seminars are targeted at principal investigators and trainees (grad students, post-docs) and are scheduled about twice a semester.
