The MMS Research Symposium: Translating Innovation into Impact

Our annual Melbourne Medical School (MMS) Research Symposium provides an opportunity to celebrate the innovative and impactful research taking place across the School, with speakers ranging from graduate research students to senior research leaders.

This year's theme, Translating Innovation into Impact, will include updates on major MMS and MDHS projects, by the Head of School Professor John Prins and Faculty Dean Professor Shitij Kapur, respectively, while also featuring presentations from the School's Student and ECR Publication Prize finalists.
