The retreat will include oral presentations from our T32 current trainees, faculty talks, and poster presentations by research staff and trainees at all levels. Prizes will be awarded for the top oral and poster presentations. The retreat is an important component of our T32 Training Grant.
Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided.
We look forward to gathering to celebrate research from multiple laboratories!
