The Life Science Colloquium (LSC) is a monthly forum of the Faculties of Life Sciences at the Weizmann Institute, \240to which we invite distinguished scientists to present an institute-wide lecture on their research, and to spend a few days on campus for meetings and discussion with faculty and students. \240

LSC Speakers for the current academic year are listed below.

Students and faculty who would like to meet with the speakers should contact the LSC coordinator listed at the bottom of the page.

Financial support for the LSC is generously provided by the Deans of the Faculties of Life Sciences, the M.D. Moross Institute for Cancer Research, and the Y. Leon Benoziyo Institute for Molecular Medicine.
