Research Day

Karstin Webber, GGB PhD student.

Research Day attracts faculty from across the university, giving you a chance to discuss your study with expert scientists, draw ideas from your colleagues, engage with potential collaborators and further your career goals.

You will be able to share your findings, receive expert feedback and network with other investigators during our annual research showcase. The event recognizes the accomplishments of our graduate students as well as the important role of the faculty who mentor them.

Annual Event Includes Oral, Poster Presentations

Research Day is held midwinter and attracts more than 100 faculty and graduate student attendees.

Our slate of activities includes poster sessions, oral presentations, a keynote address by a distinguished research scientist, an awards ceremony and a reception.

10th Annual Genetics, Genomics and Bioinformatics Research Day

During our well-attended event, you’ll meet like-minded investigators eager to share ideas that can further your research. You’ll also augment your CV by presenting your work — and perhaps win an award for your efforts.

By presenting a poster or delivering an oral presentation, you’ll gain valuable experiencing discussing and defending your scholarly work.

Keynote Speaker

This year's keynote speaker is Rebekah M. Charney, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences
