For the last 25 years, the UW/Fred Hutch CFAR Seminar Series has brought clinical and laboratory-based researchers, including both Seattle-based researchers and those from outside the region, to present their cutting-edge insights to our research community. The CFAR Seminars are held on the first Thursday of each month during the academic year (October through June). For upcoming CFAR Seminars please visit our Upcoming Events page.
