All students are expected to participate in the Biochemistry Research and Methods Seminar series and journal clubs, and to attend special departmental or university seminars featuring distinguished scientists from both foreign and domestic institutions.
Students of the Department of Biochemistry will actively participate in selecting and inviting to MUSC one/two speakers per year. The students will host and organize the visit of the speaker to MUSC.
Seminar in Biochemistry, BMB 730 – Director: Maurizio Del Poeta (Every Fall & Spring)
The Biochemistry Research and Methods Seminar series is presented on the second Tuesday of every month. In this series, students give a seminar based on their own research to their fellow students, graduate training committee, thesis committee, faculty and post-doctoral fellows in the Department of Biochemistry. This is a great opportunity for the students to present their work in an informal setting and to receive feedback on his/her studies from a large audience with different scientific backgrounds. Students are required to give at least two seminars during their training.
For information about the Seminar in Biochemistry please contact Ms. Taylor at 843-792-9318, taylorrg@musc.edu

Seminar in Lipidomics, BMB 703 – Director: Maurizio Del Poeta ( Every Fall & Spring) :
The Lipidomics and Pathobiology Seminar series is presented on the third Thursday of every month. In this series, the role and mechanisms by which lipids regulate important cellular functions involved in the development of medically important diseases is discussed. Lectures are given by local as well as invited speakers, scientists whose research focuses on lipid metabolism, signaling, genetics, as well as their relationship to pathobiological disorders, such as cardiovascular and neurological diseases, cancer, inflammation and infection.

Specialized Studies in Lipidomics & Pathobiology, BMB 706-01 – Director: Yusuf Hannun (Every Fall & Spring):
This course allows students to choose 1 or 2 recent cutting edge research studies for group presentation and discussion. Each student will prepare a short presentation on relevant background information (methods, prior key studies), followed by an in depth and critical presentation of the manuscript under discussion.
