Research Day 2024 Announces Winners
UICOMP Research Day 2024 was held May 1, and guests enjoyed a keynote presentation by Dr. Lawrence A. Tabak, principal deputy director of the National Institutes of Health who spoke on “The View from NIH: Many Challenges, Many Opportunities.” The Peoria campus’s James Scholars Class of 2024 presented their work. James Scholars is a 4-year medical school honors research program which allows students to select a topic and work with a faculty mentor to study and present their findings. Congratulations to this year’s James Scholars — Molly Meister, Nida Alam, and Vinay Sama!
This year 126 posters were displayed with 76 presented by UICOMP medical students, 45 by residents and fellows, and five by UICOMP faculty. This year was the largest ever research day for our campus with a record number of abstracts submitted and the most-ever posters displayed.
Congratulations to the winners and all participants!
