HDR Symposium 2009

The Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences invites you to attend the 4th Annual Postgraduate Research Symposium.

There will be several sessions of free communication in the form of poster and oral presentations. Plenary speakers share their knowledge and experience.  Attendance is free and the faculty invites you to join colleagues and presenters for lunch afterwards.

Date:  Wednesday 30 September 2009
Time:   9:00am - 1:30pm
Venue:  Lecture Theatre 5 for oral presentations and Cossar Hall for poster presentations and lunch
RSVP:  Registration is essential, please contact  darlene.mcgown@pharm.monash.edu.au

The main focus of the symposium will be to give postgraduate students a platform to explain their current research to other students and academic staff whilst improving their public speaking and presentation skills. We hope to foster an inclusive ‘research atmosphere' in the faculty, both within the postgraduate student body and among academic staff, by providing this opportunity to learn more about specific research being undertaken outside individual labs and departments. Student presentations will be judged by a panel of Postdocs, with monetary prizes given for outstanding work.

The plenary speaker on the day will be Patrick Sexton, Professor of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, Nursing & Health Sciences, and Drug Discovery Biology, Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
