Abstracts are now being accepted for the 26th annual Chuan-Pu Lee, Ph.D., Endowed Graduate Student Research Presentation Day, scheduled for Jan. 24, 2023.

The student-organized event showcases graduate student research conducted at Wayne State University, highlighting the diverse spectrum of research from the STEM fields and promoting collaboration between researchers.

Abstract submission is open to all Wayne State University graduate and medical students pursuing a master’s, doctoral or M.D./Ph.D. degree in any STEM field. More than $5,000 in cash prizes will be presented to the top graduate student presenters.

The deadline to submit poster and oral presentation abstracts is Dec. 16.

The event is supported by a gift from Dr. Lee, who died in 2016. Dr. Lee retired in 2011 after 36 years as a member of the School of Medicine faculty. She later served as an advisor for the then-Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. She was a strong advocate for WSU graduate students, offering pre- and post-doctoral travel awards to help offset the cost of national and international conferences.
