In 2002, CEPCEB initiated a special seminar series (BPSC252: Special Topics in Botany) in which CEPCEB faculty and postdocs, as well as invited prominent speakers, are scheduled to present and discuss noteworthy research discoveries in the field of plant biology. The seminar series offers a wonderful opportunity for collaborations to be established across disciplines, institutions and levels of experience. The series is sponsored by the Institute for Integrative Genome Biology and conducted on a weekly basis. The coordinators for the 2009 seminar series are Hailing Jin (Chair), Xuemei Chen, and Tao Jiang.
