Mark your calendars for the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center Postdoc-Faculty Research Day, September 25, 2018. All UNC SOM postdocs and graduate students are encouraged to submit an abstract for this event.

Top postdoctoral abstracts will be selected to give a talk. Additional postdoctoral abstracts and graduate student abstracts will be selected to showcase diverse research through a poster session. Awards will be given for the best poster presentations. Postdoctoral Awards will be $200 for first place, $150 for second place and $100 for third place.
