The Human Genetics Research Day, held on May 27, 2025, was a vibrant celebration of scientific progress and student excellence. With an enthusiastic turnout of over 150 students and faculty members, the event highlighted the dynamic research being conducted within our department.
Throughout the day, CERC members showcased their work through poster presentations, 3-minute flash talks, and 12-minute oral presentations. It was truly inspiring to witness the depth of research and the outstanding communication skills demonstrated by our students.
