Radiology Research Night

On Tuesday evening April 26, 2016, Michael King, PhD, Vice Chair for Research in the Department, hosted a Radiology Research Night. The goal of the event was for attendees to learn about research projects in Radiology and opportunities for joint research. The evening consisted of five minute talks by the senior basic science faculty and clinical faculty who do research. Each speaker discussed their current research projects and opportunities for residents to work with them.
