The Annual Graduate Student Symposium provides ALL Rutgers life science students from any graduate program a venue to showcase their cutting edge work by means of oral and poster presentations. In addition, this is a wonderful opportunity to gain exposure to the research done in various areas of life sciences on our campus.
This year's symposium was held on Friday March 24, 2023, at the Rutgers Life Sciences Atrium on Busch Campus. The keynote speaker was Dr. Advaitha Madireddy, Assistant Professor in the Rutgers Department of Pediatric Oncology.
