The Center for Integrative Genomics (CIG) holds monthly advanced research seminars (CIGars) with two presentations given by graduate students and post-docs. Each presentation is approximately 25 minutes with five minutes for questions. These talks are directed to graduate students and post-docs but are open to anyone who is interested in the topics.   

“Investigating Metabolic Signaling in Cell Identity and Intercellular Communication“
Charith Wijeyesekera Ph.D. Graduate Student, Bioinformatics – Melissa Kemp, Ph.D., Advisor Georgia Tech

“An Agent-Based Approach to Modeling Antiviral Extracellular Vesicle (EV) Activity for Directed Myeloid-Targeted Immunotherapy”
Ramya Srinivasan Ph.D. Graduate Student, Quantitative Biosciences – Melissa Kemp, Ph.D., Advisor Georgia Tech

This is a great opportunity to: 

• Improve your presentation skills as a speaker
• Communicate science, research, and technology to an audience with diverse backgrounds
• Practice giving your talk for an upcoming conference, thesis defense, or qualifying oral exams
• Enjoy free lunch and hear about a wide range of work happening in the local bioscience community
