The Biochemistry Division enjoys an active seminar program in conjunction with those of the other divisions in the Chemistry Department. Each year's program features a diverse range of speakers from industrial and academic organizations who visit Gainesville to present their latest research results in a formal seminar. In addition, appointments are always reserved so that interested graduate students can meet each speaker in a relaxed and informal environment. In addition, seminar programs organized by other divisions in the Chemistry Department often bring researchers with interests in biochemistry to Gainesville. Finally, students and faculty from the Biochemistry Division often attend seminars sponsored by other departments in related fields such as genetics, biophysics, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, etc.
