The Department of Pharmacology and Cancer Biology hosts two seminar programs to share the work being done by our students, postdocs, and faculty and to provide opportunities to learn from others in the field, both within and outside Duke.
PCB Seminar Series, Regulatory Networks in Health and Disease is our weekly departmental seminar series held each Wednesday at 12:00 noon. This seminar series features (mostly) invited speakers from outside the Duke community. The 2025-2026 series will be announced in the summer.
Works in Progress (WIP) is our signature departmental event which takes place at 12:00 noon on Fridays. The aim of this event is to increase cohesiveness and collaboration throughout our department, while also providing trainees with a valuable forum for feedback. The 2025-2026 series will be announced in the summer.
