32nd Research Symposium 2020
Due to the current pandemic, our 32nd Annual Research Day Symposium was celebrated on May 28, 2020, by zoom with fewer but very relevant activities. Theday started with an outstanding presentation by our keynote speaker Marva Moxey-Mims, MD, Division Chief of Pediatric Nephrology at Children’s National (Washington, DC). The title of her talk was “The APOLLO Study – APOL1 Long-term Kidney Transplantation Outcomes Network”. This event was followed by a career development informal but very dynamic and enlightening session, where Dr. Moxey Mims talked about, “The Many Possible Roads for a Medical Career.”
Whereas we missed the poster presentations and the awards ceremony that are usually part of our symposium, we are announcing the winners and posting the titles of all the abstracts submitted to the Research Trainee Competition that was held 2 weeks before our symposium.
All these events were moderated by Mark DeBoer, MD.
Congratulations to the winners of the Research Competition!
