LRI Seminar Series

The Legacy Research Institute sponsors a seminar series on topics that focus on the areas of scientific investigation in progress within the Legacy system.

As of Nov 2022 seminars are being held in-person, as well as with an online viewing option (email research-grants@lhs.org for more info).

All Legacy Health staff and external members of the local bioscience community are invited to attend.  For current Research employees the links to online seminars will be sent via a calendar invite, for non-research Legacy employees the link will be posted on the Legacy Research Institute intranet page. If you are not a current Legacy employee, please email research-grants@lhs.org for the link.
