Our first Pathology Research Day held on October 10, 2006 was a chance for Pathology’s researchers to share their research topics, latest findings and knowledge about topics inherent to their daily work and career. The day included a full schedule of presenters covering a variety of research topics. Over fifty research posters were also displayed throughout the day. The day was a success and the department will be planning to have another Pathology Research Day next year.
