Pulmonary fellow Ashley Desmett, MD, received the award for Best Oral Presentation by a fellow.
With a Grand Rounds presentation by Dean Kedes, PhD, MD (director, UVA Medical Scientist Training Program), ten other oral presentations by Department of Medicine residents, fellows, and graduate students, and 95 poster presentations (a 12% increase over 2015!) on an array of topics, the 2016 Carey-Marshall-Thorner Research & Scholars Day presented a remarkable overview of the scholarly production of DOM trainees and faculty mentors.
DOM’s Vice Chair for Research Eric Houpt, MD, thanked Karen Ward and Tony Brinkman for their work in organizing and coordinating the event, as well as the faculty who reviewed abstracts and served as judges for the poster and oral presentations. They were:
Faculty judges – poster presentations: Brian Annex (CV), Zach Henry (GI), Eric Houpt (ID), Zhenqi Liu (Endo), Neeral Shah (GI), Michael E. Williams (Hem-Onc)
Faculty judges – oral presentations: Alan Dalkin (Endo), Gerald Donowitz (ID), Allison Lyons (GGPHM), Mitchell Rosner (Neph), Michael Thorner (Endo), Brian Uthlaut (GGPHM),
Research & Scholars Day is an occasion to “showcase the hard work of our trainees,” commented Dr. Houpt, noting that “a record 107 abstracts [were] submitted this year.” In addition, trainees published a total of 128 articles over the course of the 2015-2016 academic year — a substantial increase over the previous year — with 89 by clinical fellows, 18 by postdoctoral fellows, and 15 by medical students and graduate students (the total exceeds 128 because of overlapping authorship on some papers).
Below are the winners for best oral presentations and best poster presentations, as well as the two winners of the Shry-Te Ju Award for research in immunology.
