The BIMO Program sponsors colloquia and special events each year, including:

Class of 1960 Scholars program

BIMO Alumni Reunion

Class of 1960 Scholars Program: 
With funds generously provided by the Class of 1960, the BIMO Program has been able to invite prominent researchers from other institutions to campus to present a public seminar and then to meet privately in a discussion and dinner setting with a select group of students (chosen for the calendar year to be the BIMO Class of 1960 Scholars).

Meet the BIMO Class of 1960 Scholars for 2004	- The 2003 Scholars

In Fall 2005 the BIMO Class of 1960 Scholars speaker was Dr. Garry Nolan (Stanford). His laboratory focuses on signaling in the immune system and study of host processes that HIV-1 exploits. Control of apoptosis, autoimmunity, angiogenesis, retrovirology, and blockade of HIV-1 infection are prominent in his studies.

 

In Spring 2004 the BIMO Class of 1960 Scholars speaker was Dr. Scott Emr (UC San Diego) who does research on membrane trafficking using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model system. The title of his April 16 seminar was "Membrane Trafficking in the Regulation of Receptor Signaling and Viral Budding"

Previous speakers have included Dr. Marlene Belfort, Gerald Fink, Virginia Cornish, Chris Walsh, Bruce Stillman, Carol Greider, Barbara Sollner-Webb, Tamar Enoch, Michael Laskowski, Jr., Chris Somerville, Hector Flores, and Dennis Brown.

BIMO Alumni Research Reunions:
Each spring a small group of Williams alumni currently in grad school or in post-doctoral research positions in the areas of biochemistry, cell biology, or molecular biology are invited back to campus. There is a public poster session at which the alumni present their current research and have the opportunity to have informal discussions with current Williams students about careers in research, choosing a graduate program, the value of doing research as an undergraduate, etc. etc
