Orthopaedic Molecular Biology Laboratory Seminars
All seminars are scheduled at the McKay Orthopaedic Research Laboratory Library 426A Stemmler Hall at 12:00 noon, unless otherwise noted. This seminar series is sponsored by the Center for Research in FOP and Related Disorders at the University of Pennsylvania.*Some speakers were supported through the Department of Genetics and the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology seminar program.
