IICD Seminar Series 2025-2026
The Herbert and Florence Irving Institute for Cancer Dynamics proudly continues its 2025–2026 seminar series on the mathematical sciences in cancer research. These monthly seminars highlight leading voices at the intersection of computational biology, statistics, genomics, and cancer research.
Seminars are held on the second Wednesday of each month from 2:00–3:00 PM EST in Schermerhorn Hall 603. All presentations are hybrid (unless otherwise noted), with in-person attendance open to CUID holders and virtual access available via Zoom. Registration is required only for virtual attendance.
We welcome the Columbia community and external researchers to join us for another dynamic year of collaborative scientific exchange. Check our calendar or click on the links below to register for our upcoming seminars.
