16th Annual Pediatrics Research Retreat

Dear Stanford Pediatrics Research Labs,

We invite all Pediatric Research Labs to present a Lab Poster at our annual retreat! Posters will be on display on Tuesday, May 6, 2025 between 9:30am to 3:00pm in the lobby of LKSC Berg Hall. 

A Lab Poster is not a regular research poster, but rather an opportunity to introduce your lab’s research mission, your team, the type of research you do, and your technical expertise to the department. This is a great way to increase your lab’s visibility, increase collaboration, and to introduce you to our trainees. Lab Posters will be displayed throughout the retreat for attendees to view and will also be part of a virtual booklet” showcasing our department labs.

Goals of the Lab Posters:

• Increase visibility of research groups/labs in our department
• Increased visibility of where to find expertise for collaboration
• Increased visibility for trainees to connect with research groups/labs in Peds

We look forward to seeing all labs represented at our annual Pediatrics Research Retreat in May 2025! 

Pediatrics Research Labs will hang their posters between 8:00am-9:00am in LKSC Berg Hall. Lab posters will be displayed throughout the retreat for attendees to view. 

Posters will be on display on Tuesday, May 6, 2025 between 9:30am to 3:00pm in the lobby of LKSC Berg Hall.
