The “CBI Student Lunch Seminar” (Chem 791) is offered every Spring semester and brings the diverse community of CBI students together to exchange ideas and expertise that enhance their progress in their research careers.

The course is organized and run by and for the students. In recent years the students have chosen a format in which they each give an informal mini-talk on a research technique that is within their expertise and is of interest to the larger group. CBI students are required to take this seminar twice.

Along with the Drug Design core course, CBI Chalk Talks, the annual CBI Retreat, Student-Invited Seminars and more, the Student Lunch Seminar fosters a highly interactive, independent, and supportive community of students within CBI.
