The Department of Microbiology holds a number of regularly scheduled seminars and less formal data clubs. A departmental seminar given by an outside speaker is held on Wednesdays between 12 noon and 1 p.m. in Room 312 of the Hammer Health Sciences Center. A seminar at which students and postdoctoral fellows present their work is held on Fridays between 12 noon and 1 p.m. in Room 1504 of Hammer. In addition, less formal data and journal clubs meet throughout the week to discuss the cell cycle, immunology, prokaryotic molecular biology, virology, and yeast molecular biology.

Students in the department host the Richard C. Parker Memorial Lecture, which is held once each year in memory of the former faculty member. The students select the speaker and arrange a schedule of meetings with the students. In connection with this lecture, each year an outstanding student near completion of their Ph.D. thesis receives the Richard C. Parker Memorial Award.

The schedule below is updated regularly.
