MIGs 2024

2024 Metabolic Interest Group (MIGs) Schedule

Running since 2009, the Metabolic Interest Group (MIGs) is a collection of labs at UVA that meet monthly to discuss research in progress pertaining to the broad area of metabolism. Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month at 4:00 PM in the Pharmacology library (Room 5023).

The intent of this meeting is to provide students, postdocs, and faculty an opportunity to get feedback on current projects.
