The Day

Research Day provides an opportunity for researchers in training at the OSU Medical Center to present their biomedical research in a public forum and to compete for travel awards given for outstanding work. This group includes trainees at all levels of programming, including graduate, undergraduate, medical and MD/PhD students, as well as postdoctoral fellows and researchers and clinical residents and fellows. Research Day also presents an opportunity for colleagues and visitors to learn about the cutting edge research occuring at Ohio State.

Over 200 posters representing a wide array of research topics are displayed throughout the day, with presenters on hand to discuss their projects and research findings with visitors and guests. Faculty judges review two or more poster presentations and make the final selections for the awards.

The day also features scheduled presentations by leaders in the biomedical sciences or related fields who will speak about their work and the latest developments in their areas. Research Day concludes with a late afternoon reception followed by a presentation of awards for outstanding research projects.
