CMB Seminar Requirement

Students are required to give an oral presentation beginning the second year of the CMB Program and each year thereafter. Second and third-year students can give either a Journal Club Presentation or Formal Research Seminar, while fourth, fifth, and sixth-year students must give a Formal Research Seminar. The requirements can be satisfied through a number of seminar series within individual CMB focus groups and departments across the UW-Madison campus. More information about the seminar requirement can be found on the Seminar Requirement page of the CMB Handbook. Feedback from students on different seminars can be found here.
