Postdoctoral Research Symposium

Each year the Postdoctoral Association and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences organize the Annual Postdoctoral Research Symposium to showcase the cutting-edge research of postdoctoral scholars at UT Southwestern Medical Center. The symposium is held on campus and includes a five-day Poster Session, several workshops, a University Lecture, and concludes with an Award Ceremony and Reception.

Since its inception, the Annual Postdoctoral Research Symposium has proven to be a valuable opportunity for postdoctoral scholars to present their scientific work to the UT Southwestern community.
