History and Further Information
The PhD Research Symposium was established in 2006 as an opportunity for final year PhD students to present their work to students and staff in the Department. Since 2007, the symposium has been opened by a distinguished guest lecture and attended by representatives from industry.
The 2016 distinguished guest lecture will be given by Professor Joaquim M. S. Cabral, Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal on “Bioprocess engineering strategies for stem cell-based therapies and regenerative medicine".
In addition to the oral presentations, students from all years had the opportunity to present posters on their research. Prizes are awarded by a panel of academic and industrial representatives and all PhD students have the opportunity to vote for the most popular presentations.
