Medical School Research Retreat scheduled for March 7
Registration is now open for the 2023 McGovern Medical School Research Retreat, an open event sponsored by the Research Committee, where faculty, graduate students, and fellows can learn more about research conducted on campus and interact with their peers.
The event will be held from 8:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., March 7, in the Beth Robertson Auditorium at the Brown Foundation Institute of Molecular Medicine (1825 Pressler St.). The event will include two breakthrough discovery symposia designed to showcase the talent of junior and senior faculty whose work is worthy of recognition for its innovation and significance. Additionally, there will be a Graduate Student Education Committee sponsored poster competition and a postdoctoral fellow symposium designed to highlight the work of graduate and post-graduate trainees.
Philipp Scherer, PhD, professor and director of the Touchstone Diabetes Center at UT Southwestern Medical Center will deliver the keynote address, “The adipocyte: Power of the underdog in metabolism.”
The Graduate Student Education Committee Poster Competition offers students a public forum to present their findings and receive valuable feedback on their research. Students also have the opportunity to see how their work compares to that of their peers in a competitive setting. Each year, awards are given for projects that demonstrate outstanding and innovative research that has the potential for contributing to the advancement of medical science and health care. The deadline to submit an abstract is Feb. 17.
