Research Day 2024 is an event for basic scientists, clinicians and trainees to share their science and explore the possibilities of interdisciplinary collaboration. It is open to researchers as well as a general audience interested in learning about the College’s exciting science. 

Join us for a morning session in the HSIB -- featuring an elevator pitch competition, networking seminars and a keynote address -- and an afternoon poster session on the UAHS Plaza. Admission is free and meals are provided for in-person attendees.

Our keynote speaker is Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital’s Christine Ritchie, MD, MSPH, a geriatrician and palliative care specialist who has worked to strengthen the quality of care for patients with serious illnesses and expand the breadth of research on aging and chronic illness to close gaps in the care of older adults.
