Event Calendar » ECR Viromics Webinar Series

This webinar series is aimed at early career researchers studying viruses in complex communities. We open up a platform to present and discuss your research and get connected.

The ECR Viromics Webinar Series is jointly hosted by the Center of Microbiome Science at Ohio State University, the EVBC, and the NSF EMERGE Biology Integration Institute.

The webinar series will take place regularly on the second Wednesday of the month at 10 am EDT / 7 am PDT / 4 pm CEST.

(Registration is only necessary once. You will receive updates about upcoming speakers.)

See the website at OSU for short biographies of the speakers.

Recordings of some lectures are available upon request. If you want a lecture to be recorded, please contact us beforehand.
