An event series for investigators, researchers, and learners
The next installment of SMPH Collaborate will be held on Friday, Oct. 20 from 3-5 p.m. in Health Sciences Learning Center Room 1306.
All individuals from across campus involved in research — including undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, research staff, and faculty — are welcome at SMPH Collaborate, an event series from the SMPH Office of Basic Research, Biotechnology and Graduate Studies.
SMPH Collaborate fosters connections among investigators, researchers, and learners through the sharing of research discoveries and building of community. Events, typically held twice a year, include two components. The first hour features researchers at various career stages — graduate students, postdocs, research staff, junior faculty, and senior faculty — presenting novel research and innovative technologies. A social hour offers time for discussion to promote collaboration, and Resource Tables provide an opportunity to become familiar with school resources.
