Each year, our department targets half a dozen leaders in the field to participate in a campus-wide two day event. This event features a distinguished seminar followed by a reception, a Neurobiology faculty dinner, meetings with Pitt and Carnegie Mellon faculty members, and interactions with our graduate and postdoctoral trainees.

Joint Neurobiology/Neuroscience Virtual Seminar Series

In the spring of 2022, the departments of Neurobiology and Neuroscience will host together an exciting virtual seminar series to engage the broad Neuroscience community across the University of Pittsburgh. We look forward to highly interactive virtual visits that will include seminars as well as meetings and discussions spanning the day.

Confirmed speakers can be found on the Neurobiology calendar.
