The Biological Sciences Department invites you to join us for special events held throughout the year. Each semester, we sponsor the Biological Sciences Seminar Series featuring a dozen or so speakers. Every fall, we host the Graduate Programs Open House to showcase our diverse research specialties. We often bring special events to UB, such as the SUNY 2026 Conversations in the Disciplines. All are welcome to attend our special events.
