GEMS laboratories meet each month (except for August and December) on a Friday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. for research presenatations by graduate students, postdocs and faculty. We usually meet either in room 2242 H.J. Patterson Hall or 3101 BRB. On Sept. 19 we will meet in 1216 H.J. Patterson. Graduate students who present in GEMS can obtain course credit as CBMG699T. Students who are interested in receiving credit for GEMS should contact Steve Mount.

GEMS (Genetics with Eukaryotic Model Systems) is a monthly multi-lab meeting physically based at the University of Maryland, College Park and devoted to the use of genetic approaches in Eukaryotic model systems such as Drosophila, C. elegans or Arabidopsis to study problems in development, signal transduction and gene expression. The group includes researchers affiliated with the Departments of Biology, Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics and Entomology in the College of Life Sciences; the Department of Animal and Avian Sciences in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources; and the Centers for Biosystems Research (CBR) and Advanced Research in Biotechnology (CARB) in the University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute (UMBI)
