The UCSD Infectious Diseases Journal Club is an informal but challenging forum for discussion of new developments in infectious diseases research. Regular participants include Adult and Pediatric Infectious Diseases Faculty and Clinical Fellows, Postdoctoral Fellows and Graduate Students performing infectious diseases research, and other UCSD-associated physicians and scientists with an interest in infectious diseases. This journal club meets monthly at faculty homes with pizza and beer. The San Diego Microbiology group also meets monthly for a lecture series and lively discussions, at Scripps Oceanographic Institute in La Jolla.
There are also numerous seminar series relating to biochemical and genetic mechanisms controling cell and molecular biology, many of which are directly related to microbiology and the immune system. The Molecular Pathology Seminar Series is a monthly forum where program faculty from UCSD and institutional affiliates present their lastest laboratory results. Following the talk, students can chat with the seminar speeker over pizza, cookies, chips, and cheeze. The Burnham Institute Seminar Series is a weekly multidisciplinary research series that brings in nationally- and internationally-recognized speakers focused on questions in molecular and cellular biology related to human disease. At UCSD, the Cellular and Molecular Medicine Seminar Series maintains a somewhat broader focus on cellular and molecular biology. The Pathology Minisymposium Series focuses specifically on molecular mechanisms of human disease that can be studied and treated using small animal models.
The program also holds an Annual Spring Research Symposium at Scripps Institute of Oceanography, where students present their work, discuss their ideas and hypotheses, and engage in some friendly scientific debate.
