The Student Research Forum (SRF) is a celebration of student research in all OHSU schools and disciplines. This year’s forum hosted a keynote speaker, student research oral presentations, and a large cross-disciplinary poster reception. The event was also a teaching and an outreach opportunity, as high school students and undergraduates from across the Portland area attended.
All research presentations and the keynote address took place in the OHSU Old Library, and the closing awards gala
was held for all participants and their mentors on the evening of May 13th at the Vey Conference Center, located in Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.
