For almost a decade, Theory Lunch has been the flagship seminar series for Systems Biology. Attracting speakers and attendees from all over the world.

Theory Lunch is a “chalk” talk (whiteboard only, no slides, no movies) that is held from 12-2pm on most Fridays during term.

The “theory” designation refers to conceptual rather than mathematical problems. The audience is interested primarily in conceptual issues in modern biology. It is sophisticated in the use of mathematical techniques that address such issues but this is neither a requirement nor an expectation.

A weekly event that allows grad students and postdocs to present their work in a casual setting.

This seminar series serves as a forum for external early career scientists (junior group leaders/assistant professors, postdocs, and finishing graduate students) to share their research and offer opportunities for collaboration and networking.
