COM Research Forum submission deadline approaching

The University of South Alabama College of Medicine 2020 Research Forum is set to take place on Dec. 11, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The deadline for abstract submissions is Friday, Nov. 6. 

Students, faculty and staff visit poster presentations at a
past research forum. This year's format will be virtual.
According to Michael Francis, Ph.D., assistant professor of physiology and cell biology at the USA College of Medicine and a member of the research forum committee, this year’s research forum will be held using a virtual format. “Though this year’s forum will take place virtually, the overarching goal of the research forum remains unchanged,” he said. “Not only does this forum provide an avenue to recognize student contributions to research within the scientific community, it also fosters collaboration among our researchers.” 

The forum highlights outstanding biomedical research under way in the college and its partners. Graduate students in the Basic Medical Sciences program and postdoctoral fellows will present their research to the scientific community. Participation is required for all postdoctoral students and Basic Medical Sciences graduate students in their third year and beyond.
