Graduate Research Day

Congratulations to everyone for an outstanding 36^th Annual Graduate Research Day (GRD). This year we offered a unique opportunity to engage with graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty members, as well as, members of the graduate community at large, in a virtual platform.  Each year, GRD is a celebration of the hard work and dedication of our graduate trainees and this year was an extra celebration of their added perseverance, resilience and accomplishments in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants had the opportunity to present their research through oral presentations. We were honored to have Dr. Bruce A Beutler, winner of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Medicine, as our keynote speaker.  He shared his outstanding research, experience and insights with our junior scientists in an outstanding presentation.

Thanks to the Graduate Research Day Committee members and judges for their hard work, enthusiasm, and support. A very special thanks to Graduate Research Chair Dr. Rudolf Lucas, for his dedication, passion and coordination to make this a meaningful event for the participants and attendees.
