2025 Neuroscience Clinical-Translational Research Symposium
The 10th annual Neuroscience Clinical-Translational Research Symposium will take place Nov. 6-7, 2025. The symposium, hosted by the Neuroscience Research Priority Area (NRPA), will be held in the Healthy Kentucky Research Building.
The annual, two-day event brings together clinical, basic, and translational neuroscience investigators from the University community— including faculty, trainees, laboratory, and program directors — to discuss their research, share progress, and foster collaborations. The event covers a wide range of research topics, such as neurodegenerative disorders, neurotherapeutics, stroke, neuromuscular disease, neurotrauma, addiction, and neurophysiology.
A Research Data Blitz will challenge graduate students and postdocs to provide a well-detailed synopsis of their research on only one visual slide within a 5-minute timeframe.
Thursday will conclude with the neuroscience networking/social hour, with light snacks and refreshments provided.
