4th Annual Department of Neuroscience Research Day
Friday, May 3, 2024, 8am-5pm, First Floor Biomedical Research Tower
Abstracts due March 8
Poster and Talks selected by April 5
The Department of Neuroscience Research Day is an annual event held each spring and features posters from trainees and staff, faculty presentations, and a keynote address by a world-renowned researcher in the field of neuroscience. Faculty members judge poster presentations and travel awards are given to the highest-scoring trainees.
Research Day also presents an opportunity for colleagues to learn about the cutting-edge research occurring at Ohio State. Faculty judges review poster presentations and make the final selections for the awards. Research Day concludes with a late afternoon reception followed by a presentation of awards for outstanding research projects.
2024 Keynote Speaker
Kira Poskanzer, PhD
Associate Professor, Biochemistry and Biophysics
University of California, San Francisco
The Poskanzer lab is in the Biochemistry & Biophysics Department at UCSF and studies the physiology of astrocytes and neurons in mammalian cortical microcircuits. They use multiphoton microscopy and electrophysiology to investigate how astrocytes and neurons communicate with each other at cellular and circuit levels.
