Message from the Research Day Director

Research Day is a wonderful avenue to showcase the amazing work done in our department. Join us for a full-day event with keynote talks, podium presentations, and great opportunities to interact with peers. This year, we are also introducing an industry session with talks from companies and spin-offs working on the commercialization of radiology-related research.We have a lunchtime poster session during which you are encouraged to present any past or ongoing research projects. If you are a PI, you may also use this session to provide an overview of your lab. We are very excited to see you at the event, and if you have any questions, you are welcome to contact me using the information listed below.
