The Department of Biology at Texas A&M University sponsors a weekly seminar series during the Fall and Spring semesters. Seminars are held each Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. in room 115 Biological Sciences Building East unless otherwise noted. In addition to this weekly seminar series, the department hosts the Frontiers in Biology Lecture Series which is held 1-2 times each year.

Speakers for this semester, including the Frontiers in Biology Lecture Series are listed below. Links to other seminar series are listed at the bottom of this page. If you would like to be added to our weekly seminar e-mail reminder, please send your name and e-mail address to Lieu Jean at ljean@mail.bio.tamu.edu.
