Duke Basic Science Day Packs Auditorium

Several hundred faculty, postdocs and grad students packed into Love Auditorium on Monday, October 10, to hear leading Duke scientists present their latest research in a celebration of the work being done throughout the school's basic science community

The second annual Duke Basic Science Day featured presentations from scientists in each of the eight basic science departments in the School of Medicine, as well as from the clinical departments of anesthesiology and radiology.

In addition, a colleague from the broader university community in the Department of Biomedical Engineering was invited to present his work. Trainees were also an important part of the day as they shared their research in poster sessions.

All too often the drive to complete experiments, analyze results, write papers and submit new grants prevent faculty from taking the time to fully understand the scope of work being done in their own backyard.
