Throughout Michigan Medicine, there are remarkable stories of discoveries and achievements in basic science, clinical, and translational research that need to be shared. The Frontier Seminar Series, hosted by Bishr Omary, Chief Scientific Officer and Executive Vice Dean for Research, provides a platform for storytelling. Dr. Omary invites you to attend as many seminars in the series as you can. The Frontier Seminar Organizing Committee includes Drs. Rodica Busui, Gabriel Corfas, Karl Jepsen, and John Traynor.
Our aim is to provide an outstanding experience for all attendees. If you require reasonable accommodations in order to attend, please contact the organizer at least two days before the event.
