Department of Immunology

Seminars & Events

The Department of Immunology, in partnership with individual and corporate sponsors, creates a vibrant learning experience through its regular seminar series and invited lectures for our graduate students, postdoctoral trainees, faculty and the broader community. A key component of the UW Immunology experience is frequent seminars and events. From annual events such as the Department Retreat to regular research seminars, departmental activities enrich life for the UW Immunology community.

IMMUNOLOGY SEMINAR SERIES

The Department of Immunology seminars feature lecturers who discuss the latest advances in immunological research. Seminars are held Tuesdays at 9:30 am during the academic year; all seminars are livestreamed via zoom. These events are open to the UW community. See the Seminars Page for a list of seminars.

RESEARCH IN PROGRESS (RIP)

The Department of Immunology presents weekly programs featuring graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Each week, a graduate student and a postdoctoral fellow present their current research activities and findings, with opportunity for audience questions. Research in Progress (RIP) is held Thursday’s at 3:30 p.m. in Brotman Auditorium at South Lake Union during the academic year.

DEPARTMENT ANNUAL RETREAT

The Department of Immunology holds an annual two-day Department Retreat (usually in mid September) prior to the beginning of the academic year. The Retreat provides an opportunity for faculty, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and staff to share ongoing research through formal scientific presentations and poster sessions.

Each year, the Sandra L. Clark Lecture is given during this Retreat, with a speaker selected by the Immunology graduate students.
