We would also like to invite you to pre-seminar overview sessions. We'll have a member of ISU research community give an overview on the various fields of research being covered by the seminar speakers. Whether you are unfamiliar with the research field and would like to know more, or just curious to get updates on a research area, these sessions will give you an opportunity to get better acquainted with the bioinformatics research field addressed by various speakers.
