The VHS Office of Research and Research Advisory Committee invite you to attend the 38th Annual Research Day event, presented by Langley Federal Credit Union, on Friday, November 13th in Waitzer Hall (Medical Campus) from 11:30 AM - 5:30 PM. Research Day brings our health sciences community together to share groundbreaking research, exchange ideas, and advance medical knowledge across disciplines.
This year, we will have 145 poster presenters who are eager to share their research with attendees! We hope that you will attend to show your support. No RSVPs are required—mark your calendar, bring your colleagues, and join us for an inspiring day of health science innovation.
Doors open at 11:15 AM with a pizza lunch and door prize raffle distribution, followed by a highly relevant keynote lecture from Dr. Larry Sanford, Professor of Biomedical and Translational Sciences, titled “Sleep, stress, learning, memory and the immune system: Reflections on complex drivers of health.”
In the afternoon, the event will highlight emerging talent during the platform presentations starting at 2:15 PM. Throughout the day, attendees can also explore two poster sessions and vote in the People’s Choice award contest, visit exhibitor tables, enjoy additional refreshments, and ongoing door prize drawings.
Visit the Research Day website for more information and to view the poster abstracts now. We look forward to seeing you there!
