The Krembil Research Institute (Krembil) Seminar Series is designed to raise awareness of scientific research conducted both inside and outside of Krembil. The series is generally held on selected Thursdays of each month from September to June in the BMO Education Centre on the main floor of the Krembil Discovery Tower, 60 Leonard Ave.
Each month, we strive to host:
- 1 External Visiting Speaker
- 1 Internal Krembil Researcher
- 1 Internal Krembil Postdoctoral Researcher or Senior Graduate Student
For more information on the Krembil Seminar Series, please click here or contact Julie Wan at (416) 603-5045.
The Krembil Computational Neuroscience (KCN) events brings together researchers and trainees at the Krembil and the wider community to discuss challenges in the fields of mathematical and computational neuroscience.
