James Lepock Memorial Student Symposium 2011

To MBP faculty, postdocs, staffs, graduate and summer students:

You are invited to attend the James Lepock Memorial Student Symposium. This annual event, hosted by our department, is an excellent chance to get a glimpse of the variety of projects that the students in the department are pursuing. The goal of the symposium is to provide an informal setting where students of the department can present their work to the faculty and their peers. There will be poster and oral presentations throughout the day, which are to be judged by faculty and post-doctoral fellows.

This year's symposium will be held on Thursday, June 2nd at Princess Margaret Hospital, 7th floor atrium. The keynote address will be presented by Cameron Piron, a former MBP student at Sunnybrook and the founder, president, and Chairman of the Board at Sentinelle Medical Inc., a leading developer of MRI coils and diagnostic software.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided as well as coffee and refreshments served throughout the day, so please remember to bring your mug to minimize our environmental impact.
