About
Each year, the University of Minnesota, College of Pharmacy hosts its annual Research Symposium to showcase the cutting-edge research conducted by investigators and students. It brings together our students, postdoctoral fellows, pharmacy residents, faculty, and alumni, as well as industry and academic colleagues to recognize their research endeavors.

The annual Research Symposium is also a creative and fun forum as well as a fantastic networking occasion for students to connect with faculty, residents, industry representatives, and the rest of the scientific community in Minnesota.
