Course Objective

In this seminar series, titled RBC Research Collective 2024, students will select, present and lead discussions on current research projects in the areas of cell to cell free therapies and other topics under the purview of regenerative medicine. The Collective provides an opportunity for graduate students to develop skills in presentation and discussion of regenerative research topics in an academic multidisciplinary forum.

Class Format

The forum will include RBC faculty members and students, and often times affiliate partnerships of the RBC. Graduate students must be prepared to build a presentation acceptable to all audience members, regardless of their familiarity with the topic. Each assigned presenter will lead the discussion of their research project having prepared several PowerPoint slides. Meetings will be held once a week, in-person, on Thursday’s at the Dan Daniels conference room, 425 River Rd., sharply at 4pm, ending at 5pm. Contact Dr. Yao Yao for more info yao.yao (at) uga.edu
