The Department of Microbiology & Molecular Genetics (MMG) hosts numerous seminars throughout the year, which serve as an essential cornerstone of our academic mission. These seminars provide a platform for leading researchers to share cutting-edge findings, facilitate intellectual exchange and collaboration among faculty and students, and allow the broader scientific community to connect and learn from each other. We invite everyone interested to explore and participate in these events.
