The UCLA Undergraduate Computational and Systems Biology Seminar Series is aimed at supporting undergraduates in the Computational and Systems Biology Program by exposing students to professionals in the field. The series aims to support the professional interests of the students in the program by hosting speakers from the quantitative biology industries as well as academia. By hosting a diverse group of speakers, we hope to help students better understand and explore career paths available to them.

CaSB is in the process of revising the current concentrations for the major into new tracks. The revision is currently under review by the University, and we expect these changes to go live effective Winter 2022. This Info Session is designed to introduce students to the new tracks, go over the rationale behind the revision, talk about choosing and planning for courses, and answer any questions you may have. All students who will be held to the new track curriculum, pending final approval, are encouraged to attend. The event will also be recorded.
