MBP Symposium

The MBP Symposium is an annual research and networking conference that offers graduate students the opportunity to showcase their excellent research to colleagues and scientists within the MBP community. The event, which typically happens in May of each year, is an invaluable opportunity for students to present to a diverse audience, network with alumni and explore potential career paths. 

Day 1 features the James Lepock Memorial Symposium, showcasing student research seminars, research posters and exciting keynote talks from MBP alumni. Prizes are awarded to the top presentations and posters.

Day 2 features the annual Alumni-Student Networking Reception Day, which includes a career panel and round table networking sessions with MBP alumni.

All MBP faculty and students are highly encouraged to participate.
