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.

Friday Work-in-Progress Seminar Series
The Friday "work-in-progress" (WIP) seminars occur weekly during the academic year and provide an opportunity for postdoctoral fellows and graduate students to share their current research projects in an interactive and less formal environment. Presenters draw from all the Vollum laboratories as well as a few affiliated labs in other research units. The talks touch on a wide array of scientific interests and approaches.
The Friday WIP Seminar Series resumes Sept 29th for the 2023–2024 academic year. Details for each seminar are posted on our Twitter account and flyers are posted throughout the Vollum Institute. To view the presentations live, the OHSU Research community can stream the presentations by logging in to the OHSU network and using this link. Presentations are not recorded.
Herbert Memorial Lecture
The Herbert Memorial Lecture is given annually in honor of the Vollum Institutes's founding director, Edward Herbert. 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.
