Vollum Seminars and Events
The Vollum Institute hosts a variety of sponsored seminars on wide ranging topics of interest to the OHSU research community. These include regularly scheduled events during the academic year, such as the Vollum Seminar Series and Friday postdoc/student presentations, as well as special presentations by visiting scientists and faculty candidates.
Vollum Seminar Series
The Vollum Seminar Series runs through the academic year and strives to bring prominent scientists to OHSU to present current research in the general areas of molecular neurobiology, signal transduction and gene regulation. This series has had many notable contributors from across the country as well as from numerous international research and academic institutions.

Friday Seminar Series
The Friday seminars occur weekly during the academic year and provide an opportunity for postdoctoral fellows and graduate students to present their research projects in an interactive and less formal environment. Presenters represent all the Vollum laboratories and hence touch on a wide array of scientific interests and approaches.

Herbert Memorial Lecture
The Herbert Memorial Lecture is given annually in honor of the Vollum's founding director, Edward Herbert. This event is sponsored by Cell Signaling Technology, which is directed by Michael Comb, a former Herbert graduate student. Each year, we invite an outstanding scientist to engage in discussion and fellowship with Vollum faculty and students, as well as to give an open talk to the university.
