About
Monday Noon seminars are hosted by the Hope Center and the Department of Neurology. Talks are organized around mini-series topics; each mini-series is organized by Hope Center faculty members to feature investigators from Washington University as well as one outside speaker. Monday Noon seminars run during the academic year, typically September through May.
All seminars are listed on the Office of Neuroscience Research (ONR) Calendar.
For inquiries, contact John Cirrito or Cindy Lawrence.
