The Center for Women’s Health Engineering invites you to participate in the Center for Women’s Health Engineering Mini-Research Symposium, scheduled for April 11 in Whitaker Hall 100 and the Atrium, Danforth Campus, Washington University in St. Louis.
This one-day symposium provides an opportunity for students and faculty to explore WashU’s latest research in women’s health engineering. Talks will be given by faculty of the McKelvey School of Engineering and WashU Medicine, and a poster networking reception will bring together researchers to spark new connections and collaborations towards addressing unmet needs in women’s health. RSVP for the event by April 4.
Poster session sign-up open for applicants
Postdoctoral researchers and students are invited to share their research through poster presentations at the Center for Women’s Health Engineering Mini-Research Symposium. Posters and previously published work presented at other conferences within the last year are also eligible. Applications are due by April 4.
