Breakfast Club Seminar Series

Thursdays from 9-10 am at the UW SLU campus

Breakfast Club is a SLU seminar event hosted weekly by UW faculty members from various fields and departments including cardiology, pathology, metabolism, molecular and cellar biology, and other biomedical and genome science related disciplines. Each week an esteemed speaker, either local or invited Distinguished Lecturers from out of town, will come to give a 50-minute presentation plus 10-minutes for questions on topics in cardiovascular biology ranging from research to general health issues to scientific methodology.

We encourage in-person attendance to create a space for lively discussion during the seminar, however, we are aware that circumstances do not always allow for this. If you are unable to attend in person, please consider joining on Zoom (meeting ID: 4865023668).
