A Celebration of Collaboration and Career Exploration in Clinical and Translational Research
Date: March 21, 2025
Time: 8:30AM - 2:00PM
Location: Tinkham Veale University Center, Case Western Reserve University (all Ballrooms)
The Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative of Northern Ohio invites you on a journey to explore translational research projects, career paths in clinical research, and to learn more about the variety of services offered within the CTSC.
CTSC Research Discovery Day aims to:
-
Celebrate successful collaborative research from the CTSC and its partner institutions (Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth, Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED), University Hospitals, University of Toledo and the VA Northeast Ohio Health System (VANEOHS))
-
Showcase the variety of services and opportunities available from the CTSC
-
Provide local high school and undergraduate students an opportunity to explore career paths in clinical research
Many aspects of clinical and translational research will be highlighted in this day-long symposium. Poster sessions will showcase a variety of CTSC-supported research among its partner institutions. Selected abstracts will be presented as short oral presentations.
A keynote speaker and panels to showcase the vast number of careers in clinical research (i.e. finance specialists, project managers, investigators) will also take place, so students can learn about daily responsibilities and their paths to these careers. There will be opportunities for CTSC resources and services among all CTSC partners to have informational tables at the event, with staff/faculty available to promote their services, discuss careers, and answer questions from attendees.
