Seed Institute Meetings Program

Though the scientists who are part of the Seed Institute communicate regularly about their research, the Seed Institute convenes one large meeting each year. The meeting is in the spring at the Luskin Center on the UCLA campus. The participants in these meetings include members from each lab. The goal of these meetings is to present data obtained from each lab in an open forum and generate discussions and ideas from the data.
