What better way to showcase the University’s emerging biomedical talent than to bring together a bunch of outstanding postgraduates to present their work.
This year a total of 28 students gave talks or presented a poster at the recent annual School of Biomedical Sciences postgraduates symposium.
BMS Dean Lisa Matisoo-Smith said the day-long event was a celebration of the hard mahi put in by the students and the school.
“It is a high point in the BMS year to listen to the diverse and innovative work, and to celebrate their journey of our postgraduates. All of those who presented talks or posters did an amazing job – and did their lab groups, supervisors and the school proud.”
BMS Associate Dean Research Professor Peter Mace says each year presents new and fascinating research.
“Not only is it great to support our students, it’s also a good opportunity for staff across different departments to learn more about the research happening in our school. The students did a great job of showcasing our research excellence.”
Guest Speaker Professor John Reynolds (Department of Anatomy) shared his own work on translational research - the long road to better treatments, and Professor Jemma Geoghegan (Department of Microbiology & Immunology) outlined her respiratory virus transmission work before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
