Cornell University

Cell Biology Journal Club

FALL 2026 Schedule: bi-weekly on Fridays from 10:00-11:00am in Weill Hall, Room 321

“The CBJC has a long history. It began around 1985, and has been running continuously almost every Friday. It even survived the pandemic through a transition to virtual meetings and back again. Our resident Cornell historian, Tony Bretscher, estimates that the CBJC has discussed about 1,400 papers (I like to imagine journal clubs before powerpoint).”  – Jorgensen, J. (2020), CBJC Listserv

CBJC Coordinator: Xuran Chen (xc532)

CBJC Faculty Advisor: Yuxin Mao (ym253)

The goal of CBJC is to bring together faculty and trainees in molecular and cellular biology to discuss exciting advances, exchange ideas, and foster collaborations. We invite volunteers to present cutting-edge papers in any area of cell biology. If you are interested in presenting, please email Xuran (xc532@cornell.edu).
