The Office of Research Affairs at the Boonshoft School of Medicine hosted the 2009 Central Research Forum on Tuesday, March 10, in the WSU Student Union. The program introduced new investigators at WSU Boonshoft School of Medicine and explored recent developments in translational research.
A data blitz and poster session showcased the range of Wright State’s biomedical, clinical, and medical education research. All WSU investigators, graduate students, and medical students were invited to present posters on their current or recent work. Posters presented at national conferences in the past year were strongly encouraged. See the list of posters.
