The Center for Women’s Health Engineering invites you to participate in the Center for Women’s He alth Engineering Mini-Research Symposium\, scheduled for April 11 in Whitaker Hall 100 and the Atrium\, Danforth Campus\, Washington Unive rsity in St. Louis.
This one-day sympo sium provides an opportunity for students and faculty to explore WashU’s la test research in women’s health engineering. Talks will be given by faculty of the McKelvey School of Engineering and WashU Medicine\, and a poster ne tworking 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.
Postdoctoral researchers and students are invited to share their research through poster presentations a t the Center for Women’s Health Engineering Mini-Research Symposium. Poster s and previously published work presented at other conferences within the l ast year are also eligible. Applicat ions are due by April 4.
