BBDC Seminar Series

2023-2024

In-Person
10:00 – 11:00 a.m.
Location:  Mount Sinai Hospital, Lebovic Building, 60 Murray Street, 3rd Floor Conference Room

After many years of holding our Seminar Series in conjunction with City-wide Endocrine Rounds, we have decided to move the seminars to Tuesday mornings from 10 to 11 a.m. In line with many graduate departments’ seminar series, ours will be returning to in-person, as we strive to foster an interactive learning environment and a sense of community.

Our seminars are open to faculty, staff, students, and trainees at the University of Toronto and University of Toronto-affiliated institutions.  Faculty wishing to meet with any of the guest speakers should contact Sanam Tajadod at [email protected]. We are pleased to be hosting the following guest speakers in 2023/2024:
