Seminars, Meetings and Clubs
The Basic Sciences Division at Fred Hutch holds many longstanding seminar series, scientific meetings, and journal clubs. All are open to Fred Hutch and University of Washington staff.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Discussion Group
This trainee-led discussion group was founded as part of ongoing efforts at Fred Hutch and the Basic Sciences Division to challenge our own biases and advance a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion in scientific research. Everyone in the division is encouraged to join and participate.
For more information and the discussion schedule contact: Pravrutha Raman, Christine Cucinotta, or Anna Mammel
Chromatin Club
Founded as a home for those interested in keeping up with latest in chromatin research, the Chromatin Club is hosted by two of the leading experts in chromatin research, Drs. Steven Henikoff and Toshio Tsukiyama. The club meets once a month and is focused on understanding chromosomal processes, development and disease.
When: The fourth Thursday of the month, 12:00 - 1:00 p.m.
Contact: Steve Henikoff or Toshio Tsukiyama
