MIGs 2023
2023 Metabolic Interest Group (MIGs) Schedule
Running since 2009 the Metabolic Interest Group 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).
New for 2023: Only one lab will present a research in progress seminar each month.
The intent of this meeting is to provide students, postdocs, and faculty an opportunity to get feedback on current projects.
