The 2019 Kentucky Neuroscience Institute Clinical-Translational Research Symposium is a daylong event that will provide the opportunity for basic, translational, and clinical neuroscience investigators including trainees, laboratory and program directors throughout the university to discuss their work, share progress, and develop collaborations. The 4th annual event is scheduled for October 4, 2019 in Karpf (PAV A) Auditorium, with the first poster session beginning at 8am. 

Presenters can be undergraduate, graduate students, medical students, postdocs, residents, fellows, faculty, or physicians. 

The purpose is to share information within the wider University of Kentucky community, generate feedback, and create collaborations. The following are acceptable for submission: abstracts previously presented at national meetings; both clinical research and basic-translational neuroscience-related; works in progress may be submitted as well. The symposium will include a scientific poster session and multiple theme-based platform sessions, each with short, 10-minute talks selected from abstract submissions. Please join your colleagues for this terrific event!
