Research Symposium Series

Join fellow University at Buffalo investigators and community partners advancing research in our region on critical topics. 

In 2023 the Office of the Vice President for Health Sciences is proud to introduce our inaugural Research Symposium Series.

At this multidisciplinary research forum, UB investigators and community partners can present their insights and implications, engage in structured conversations and gain the latest information on a range of topics related to health equity, clinical practice, quality improvements and more.

Sessions will include: 

  • poster presentations 
  • keynote address 

UB research support offices will be on site to answer questions, and follow-up will be coordinated to form collaborative groups. We’ll provide food and beverages.

2023-2024 Series

As an attendee or presenter at the symposium, you’ll experience the impressive breadth and depth of research being conducted by your peers — and you’ll gain opportunities to network.
