RESEARCH DAY 2024 WAS A GREAT SUCCESS!
Thank you to all who joined us.
The agenda was anchored by two inspiring visiting speakers; Dr. Heather Ross from the University of Toronto and Dr. Peter van der Meer from the University Medical Center Groningen, and the remainder of the day was filled with an impressive array of high caliber presentations from the trainees. It was an engaging and educational day all around with lots of great conversations and good food.
