Pathology Research Retreat

Friday, February 26th, 2021

Great News!

The Pathology Research Retreat will now be held as a virtual event

During these challenging times we may not be able to gather in person, but we can stay connected. This year, we’ll be re-creating our annual research retreat online.

The purpose of the retreat is to permit all of the Pathology department's graduate students, rotating medical students, post-sophomore fellows, residents, clinical fellows, postdoctoral fellows, research associates, instructors, faculty, including clinical educators, senior research scientists, and the new MSTP students at the School of Medicine, to become more familiar with the research that is being conducted in the department, including basic, translational and clinical projects. We hope this will facilitate new opportunities for collaborative studies and research training, as well as enhance prospects for additional funding of such activities.

Join us live at the virtual research retreat on February 26^th, 2021

Three distinguished departmental keynote speakers will discuss their latest COVID-19 findings and updates
All presenters will create a digital poster and have the opportunity to host a live, interactive online meeting discussing their research with retreat attendees via ZOOM.
Odd-numbered abstract presentations can be attended from 2:15-3:15 pm and even numbered abstract presentations can be attended from 3:30-4:30 pm
The winning scientific abstract presentations will be recognized with cash prizes (total number of awards to be determined)

*Cash prizes to be awarded in seven categories:

Students
Postdoctoral Fellows
Research Associates
CP Residents
AP Residents
Clinical Fellows

“Health Disparity Research is a newly awarded category for this year’s retreat which welcomes studies with a particular focus on health differences that are closely linked with social, economic, geographic and/or environmental disadvantage. By defining a new award category, we want to recognize the impact that such determinants have on health outcomes of specific populations.” Birgitt Schuele
