Midwest Student Biomedical Research Forum
The Midwest Student Biomedical Research Forum provides an opportunity for young researchers from the health sciences, graduate, intern, and resident programs throughout the Midwest to present their research in the biomedical sciences.
Saturday, March 2, 2024
8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Mike & Josie Harper Center
Creighton University, 602 N 20th Street, Omaha, NE
MSBRF provides the option of presenting research in either an oral or poster format. The forum gives students an excellent opportunity to have their original work reviewed, evaluated, and recognized by their peers and established scientists. Each abstract submitted to the forum is subject to the same type of peer review applied to the selection of manuscripts for publication in major scientific journals. Financial awards are given in several categories.
MSBRF has grown into an important assembly of young scientists. The previous MSBRF, held in March 2023, was a tremendous success with more than 180 students from Midwestern medical schools presenting their research at the forum.
The forum has been co-sponsored by the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Creighton University since 1987.
Keynote Presenter
Julie K. Freed, MD, PhD, FAHA, FCVS, is associate professor, executive vice chair, and director of clinical research in the Department of Anesthesiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Her presentation title is Translational Tales of Resiliency Within the Human Microvasculature.
