The Columbia University Epidemiology Grand Rounds [CUEGR] and Special Seminar series hosts global leaders in epidemiology who share their ground-breaking work with the Department’s faculty, students, and the Columbia community at-large. These lectures present a broad range of topics, fostering academic exchange around key issues in epidemiology. The series has forged important links between the Department and leading figures and programs in public health and epidemiology throughout the world. Lectures are followed by discussion and interaction between speakers and audience in order to forge new dialogue and ideas for science and policy. Speakers are invited to spend the day at Columbia with ample time to engage faculty and students prior to the lecture.
