The sixth annual University of South Alabama College of Medicine Research Forum was held Dec. 13, 2012, at the Medical Sciences Building on USA's main campus.
The forum is an opportunity for graduate students in the Basic Medical Sciences program, postdoctoral fellows, residents, clinical fellows, and new faculty to present their research to the College of Medicine community.
The forum consisted of two sessions - the morning session was comprised of eight oral presentations and the afternoon session hosted poster presentations.
According to Dr. Donna Cioffi, assistant professor of biochemistry at USA, the forum consisted of 40 poster presentations largely focusing on research performed by basic medical scientists and clinicians. In addition, Dr. Cioffi said this year's event included presentations from the USA Biomedical Library and the Flow Cytometry Core.
Dr. Cioffi said the research forum is a great opportunity for basic medical scientists and clinicians because it opens doors for new ideas and collaborations.
"This year's Research Forum was a great success, and we are already looking forward to next year's event," she said.
