Call for abstracts: Taubman Institute Symposium deadline extended to Oct. 16

It’s not too late for U-M biomedical researchers to participate in a scientific poster session hosted by the Taubman Institute in conjunction with its Oct. 22 symposium. 

Entries will be judged by Taubman Scholars, with cash prizes awarded to top-scoring submissions.

The posters will be displayed from 8:30 a.m. until 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 22 in the lobby of the A. Alfred Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building.

All members of the U-M community are invited to attend the poster session, continental breakfast and symposium. This year’s event will feature the awarding of the 2019 Taubman Prize to Professor Sir Stephen O’Rahilly, a world-renowned expert in obesity and metabolic diseases.
