CBI Day
CBI Day is an annual symposium held each October during the fall quarter to welcome new trainees to the training grant and welcome back faculty and alumni. As a culmination of the interdisciplinary training fostered by the grant, the event provides an opportunity to share research across disciplines and cross-pollinate among grantees, alumni, and representatives from the private sector. Speakers are invited from the University and from private companies to speak about their own career trajectories and how to utilize the unique training provided by CBI to launch a career in the sciences. Trainees often refer to CBI Day as a highlight of the program.
CBI Day will take place this year on October 17th, 2023. Please check this page for updates.
