Monthly event focused on providing DMC researchers insights into the entrepreneurial nature of microbiome research in the Triangle area. Monthly speakers will include leaders of microbiome startups, experts in venture capital, translation, intellectual property, licensing, and launching ventures.

Events are currently scheduled for the last Thursday of each month at 4pm-5pm in MSRB 001.

Microbiome Office Hours

This event is hosted on the first and third Fridays of each month in MSRB3 4th floor conference room from 1:30pm-2:30pm. Office hours serve as a forum for investigators, trainees, or staff to chat with experts in microbiome science, bioinformatics, or biostatistics about their ongoing or upcoming research projects. This event is hosted by Jason Arnold, and generally attended by Eva Kim (Bioinformatics topic expert) and Pixu Shi (Biostatistics topic expert).

DMC Research-in-Progress Talks

This monthly meeting will take place on the third Friday of each month at 12pm-1pm in MSRB3 room 1125.   There will be a Zoom option, but food will be provided for in-person attendees.
