Research Week

Each spring the Carver College of Medicine, College of Public Health, and the VA Medical Center sponsor Research Week. Internationally-known speakers are invited to lecture on current health topics; and workshops and panel discussions are presented by UI faculty and staff.

Research Week 2009 will take place April 14 and 15 on the UI health sciences campus. For more information, visit the Research Week web site.

There are poster sessions for faculty, staff and students that provide excellent opportunities to showcase College of Public Health research to the University community. Winners of the student and staff competitions are recognized at an awards reception and also invited to attend the Research Week banquet. The involvement of CPH faculty, staff, and students makes it a special week for the College.

Research Week 2008 was held April 1 and 2. The program focused on innate immunity.
