Details of past LSI Public Talks are posted.
The Life Sciences Institute hosts the LSI Public Talks, a series of informal talks and networking that aim to help the public understand how our research has an impact on their lives. The 2014-2015 series focuses on personalized medicine and how the LSI faculty, staff and students are working to change clinical practice, improve health outcomes, and reduce health costs.
The LSI Public Talks are delivered in partnership with the Vancouver Public Library and UBC’s Irving K. Barber Learning Centre.
