The Myeloid Network
Welcome
The Myeloid Network seeks to connect researchers worldwide to promote communication and advancement of research and medicine in the field of myeloid cell biology.
The Myeloid Network Seminar Series offers remote participation through Zoom to bring our community of faculty, trainees and lab staff together throughout the world to move the field of myeloid biology forward. We plan to involve speakers who are established leaders as well as newly emerging leaders in the field. This seminar series will be broadcast to research around the world and recorded for subsequent viewing.
The series began on April 8, 2021 and occurs on the second Thursday of the month at 11:00 AM Eastern (ET) / 8:00 AM Pacific (PT) / 15:00 UTC.
