ISB researchers and their colleagues from the Center for Infectious Disease Research held the 5th annual joint poster session on June 30. The event kicked off with lightning talks, which featured two-minute research summaries from each scientist who submitted a poster. Following the lightning talks, researchers were able to peruse posters and chat with colleagues about any potential collaborations.
ISB and CIDResearch takes turns hosting the event, which is intended to celebrate the many research alliances the institutes already have and to encourage scientists to discover new opportunities.
