Cardiopulmonary Research-in-Progress Seminar Series

Lunch discussion with Dr. Shaun R. Coughlin, UCSF, Evans Lectureship 2003

The Cardiopulmonary Research-in-Progress Seminar Series was established in fall of 2002. The series aims to highlight current cardiopulmonary research and provide a venue for interaction and discussion for an audience of both clinical and basic researchers.

The talks are held on Thursdays at 4 p.m. We feature Stanford speakers, speakers from area institutions, and visiting scholars from research institutions nationwide and abroad. Visiting speakers spend the day at Stanford, meeting with colleagues with common research interests, and we host a lunch discussion with graduate students, fellows, and research associates from the group.

Lab Meetings, and Journal Club

The Rabinovitch/Bland lab has weekly research meetings (usually Mondays at 9:00 am), where laboratory members present and discuss their latest research findings. This is a great forum for brainstorming and troubleshooting. In addition, the group holds bi-weekly Journal Club meetings, in which students, post-docs and faculty participate in reviewing current research papers from the scientific literature.
