Neuroscience Symposium returns Oct. 24-25
Registration is open for the 2024 Neuroscience Clinical-Translational Research Symposium, which will take place Oct. 24-25 in the Healthy Kentucky Research Building. The Neuroscience Research Priority Area announced that the featured keynote speaker is Katherine Hartmann, M.D., Ph.D., director of the University of Kentucky Center for Clinical and Translational Science.
The annual, multi-day event enables clinical, basic and translational neuroscience investigators — including faculty, trainees, laboratory and program directors throughout the university community — to discuss their work, share progress and develop collaborations. Research topics are expected to follow suit of previous years and include epilepsy, neurodegeneration, neurorehabilitation, neurophysiology, stroke, neuromuscular disease, neurotrauma and other topics. The purpose is to share information within the wider University of Kentucky community, generate feedback and create collaborations.
The Thursday afternoon session will feature a Research Data Blitz and Neuroscience Networking and Social Hour. The Data Blitz will challenge graduate students and post-doctoral students to provide a well-detailed synopsis of their research on only one visual slide within a five-minute timeframe. The Neuroscience Networking and Social Hour will follow.
The Friday session will include a presentation from the keynote speaker, a mid-day scientific poster session, and four theme-based platform sessions, each with brief 10-minute talks selected from abstract submissions.
