You are officially invited to SBME Synergy Research Day
Join us this August to discover the exciting research being conducted by UBC’s undergraduate Synergy award-holders!
In the tradition of the CBR-SBME Summer Research Program, Research Day is an opportunity for Synergy’s students to showcase their summer research projects, hear an inspirational keynote talk, and celebrate the end of the Summer Studentship Program (you can learn more about the Synergy program here).
Research Day provides an excellent platform for students to practice their presentation skills, and learn more about the work being done in UBC’s world-class laboratories. Students will have the opportunity to present their summer work through lightning-round talks and a poster presentation.
Research Day At a Glance
The top 10 student abstracts will have the opportunity to present their research through a three-minute ‘lightning’ style presentation. All students will be invited to present their summer research through a poster session in the LSI atrium. Students, supervisors, faculty and friends will all be in attendance!
The event will also feature a keynote talk from a leader in biomedical engineering.
What do the students get?
- An opportunity to explain their research and gain valuable feedback;
