The topic of the biannual CMBD symposium traditionally encompasses the broad range of interests held by the student steering committee. For instance, the 2008 symposium “Basic Science Strategies for Vaccine Development” featured speakers from multiple stages of vaccine research. Students on the Cellular and Molecular Basis of Disease training grant independently facilitate this symposium series.
