The Pathology Department Research Retreat will be located at the David and Joan Traitel Building of Hoover Institution! Our date will be, Friday, October 11, 2024. We look forward to seeing you at the retreat!

The purpose of our retreat is to allow Stanford Pathology members to become more familiar with the research conducted in the Department, including basic, translational and clinical projects. We hope this will facilitate new opportunities for collaborative studies, research training and enhance prospects for additional funding of such activities. 

This year's retreat will be live-streamed

Even though you may not be able to attend in person please register for the retreat to receive all information to log on and join us virtually on the day of the retreat.

Join us on Friday, October 11, 2024:

• Keynote Speaker: Dr. Stephen Montgomery
• Flash Talks: 3-5 minute research presentations
• Pathology Art: Vote for your favorite research artwork which will be displayed throughout the event.
• A digital version of your abstract/poster will be available to preview for the week leading up to the day of the retreat on the retreat website. This preview session accounts for 50% of the review process of your abstract. Presenters must also present their abstract poster in person at one of the poster sessions at the retreat. You can read all about the Abstract Guidelines here.

Please Note: The committee starts its evaluation process by reviewing the abstracts submitted 2-3 weeks before the day of the retreat. Those that are ranked high in the pool of abstracts submitted per category are then reviewed further in person on retreat day to identify final winners.
