Department of Genetics Seminars

Speakers from other research institutions present stimulating talks on a wide variety of subjects. These are normally held on Thursdays at 2.00 pm, and in most cases in the Biffen Lecture Theatre.

All are welcome, including those who are not Department members.


The Genetics Saunders Lecture

This lecture occurs biennially and the next event will take place in 2026

Spotlight Seminars

These are not timetabled in a regular slot as they relate to the recruitment of individuals who are interested in making Genetics their research home, or for providing a showcase for external junior scientists who are keen to visit and share their work with us.  We invite applications from individuals who are keen to develop a research programme supported by an independent research fellowship in the Department of Genetics and particularly welcome applications from women and minorities.

Please email hodsec@gen.cam.ac.uk with your CV and statement of research interests if you are interested in joining us or if would like to visit and give a Spotlight Seminar. 


Cambridge Epigenetics Club


RNA Club

Internal Seminar Series

Mostly given by PhD students in their second year, these seminars provide plenty of time for discussion afterwards. The audience represents all groups within the Department. These short lunchtime seminars are usually held on Tuesdays at 1.00 pm in the Part II Room.

Department members [only] - see information about events displayed on Google calendar.
