2012 poster day

2012, 5th Annual Trainee Poster Day

We were happy to host our 5th annual poster day, which this year took place at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in the lobby of the Research Institute. Many of our graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, including clinical fellows participated in our event, and it was wonderful to see them engaged over their various projects that covered numerous basic and clinical aspects of skeletal, cardiac, and motor neuron biology and disease. Below are their names and the title of their posters. Similar to past events, the poster presentation was followed by a distinguished lecture. This year, our invited outside speaker was Dr. Bradley Olwin from the University of Colorado at Bolder. Dr. Olwin shared his most recent work exploring the mechanisms of satellite cell activation involving the p38 MAPK and the Par complex. The talk and questions that followed provided a fitting end to another successful trainee poster day.
