ATC Seminar Series

Content

The Advanced Technology Cores host a monthly seminar series where cores present new and emerging technologies available to researchers at BCM. The goal of the series is to introduce the core's technologies to new users, who may be unfamiliar with core capabilities, so the presentations target being accessible to non-specialists. It takes roughly 3 years to rotate through all 27 ATCs, so the presentations are also archived. While we encourage you to attend each month and learn something new, if you are interested in a particular core's services, you can get a quick rundown of their latest technologies from their most recent presentation linked below.

  • Series Contact: Steven Ludtke, Ph.D.  713-798-9020, sludtke@bcm.edu.
  • Seminar Time: 1-2 p.m.
