Center for Integrative Genomics Advanced Research Seminar—CIGars 

The Center for Integrative Genomics (CIG) holds monthly advanced research seminars (CIGars) with two presentations given by graduate students and post-docs. Each presentation is approximately 25 minutes with 5 minutes for questions. These talks are directed to graduate students and post-docs but are open to anyone who is interested in the topics.   

Our next two talks will be on January 21, 2026, from Abigail Lind’s group in the School of Biological Sciences at Georgia Tech

“Metabolism and Microbial Interactions with Gut Protists”
Fredrick Leon, Post-Doctoral Fellow

“A Comparative Genomics Approach to Gut Eukaryote Metabolism”
Lydia Keller, Ph.D. Graduate Student

This is a great opportunity to: 
– Improve your presentation skills as a speaker
– Communicate science, research, and technology to an audience with diverse backgrounds
– Practice giving your talk for an upcoming conference, thesis defense, or qualifying oral exams
– Enjoy free lunch and hear about a wide range of work happening in the local bioscience community
