Annual Research Forum and Litwack Lecture
FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 2023
The Annual CVM Research Forum sponsored by the Faculty Committee on Research is scheduled for Friday, August 11 at the CVM. The forum will be followed by an awards ceremony.
The forum includes the Litwack Lecture, given annually in honor of the late Dr. Martin Litwack, a Raleigh veterinarian and an early advocate of the College of Veterinary Medicine. This year’s lecture will be presented by Dr. Ellen Foxman. Dr. Foxman currently is an Associate Professor of Laboratory Medicine and Immunobiology at the Yale School of Medicine as a senior investigator. Dr. Foxman’s recognitions include the 2018 Hartwell Foundation Individual Biomedical Research Award, the 2021 ASCI Young Physician-Scientist Award, and the 2021 Rita Allen Foundation Scholars Award..
The Research Forum will include three levels of participation:
- A poster session, open to DVM students, graduate students, undergraduate students, house officers, and staff.
- Oral presentations by DVM students, graduate students/house officers, and staff.
- Third Annual Research Image Competition – Do you have a scientific image that is beautiful enough to share? Enter your science images in the Research Image Competition at the CVM Litwack Research Day! Images will be enlarged and displayed on Research Day, and winners will be selected by popular vote (fan favorites). The rules are simple:
– All types of images are welcome – microscopy, protein structure predictions, western blots, clinical photos – anything that you think is visually appealing and is/was part of a research study
– Everyone is eligible to submit – students, house officers, post docs, staff, faculty
– The only restriction is that the image must be yours and associated with a past or present research study
CVM faculty will judge poster & oral presentation sessions. Prizes for oral and poster categories will be awarded as follows:
- The top 2 posters, oral presentations will receive a Top Honor award – $150 each.
- The next 2 posters and oral presentations will receive an Honorable Mention award – $75 each.
Oral presentations will be limited to 10 minutes (eight minutes for presentation and two minutes for questions). Presentations will be strictly timed to ensure that all are completed in a reasonable time frame. Poster presentations will be on display all day at the Research Forum. Poster presentations must be set up by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 10th. All CVM faculty are asked to attend.
The abstract deadline is 5:00 pm, July 28. Each participant has the option of requesting either an oral or poster presentation.
Abstracts must be submitted by email to ceregistration@ncsu.edu and should indicate the preference for oral, poster, or either oral or poster presentation. Litwack Research Forum Abstract Constraints 2023
