Postgraduate Symposium 2013
Postgraduate research students and their supervisors in the Research Institute for Science & Technology in Medicine gathered for their annual Postgraduate Symposium on Tuesday 16 April, and heard 21 presentations from first year students on their projects.
Over 100 Keele biomedical researchers, representing the clinical, basic science and translational themes of the research portfolio in ISTM, and guests took part in the event, held at the David Weatherall building.
Many supervisors commented on the high standard of this year’s presentations and the clear ability of students to answer questions on their work.
In the picture above, Mark Kitchen, a PhD student and Urology Research Registrar, presents his work on "Epigenomic analyses of human bladder tumourigenesis: promise and constraints"
Two poster competitions were held, with the science poster prize of £100 being won by Munyaradzi Kamudzandu, who is pictured (left) with his poster “A neuronal network in vitro model – towards therapies for Huntington’s Disease”. The joint authors of the poster and supervisors of his PhD are Dr Paul Roach, Dr Ying Yang and Dr Rosemary Fricker.
The second competition was for posters which most effectively communicated scientific or medical projects to a non-specialist audience. The first prize (£100) and second prize (£50) winners were Kai Tsang and Clare Sampson, pictured (left) together with their posters “Scheuermann’s Kyphosis – the lesser known hunchback” and “Mass trapping of the western flower thrips: Frankliniella occidentalis, in strawberry”.
