The annual Department of Medicine Research Day has celebrated research efforts across the department since 2008. The event brings together researchers from all divisions and provides an opportunity to share exciting new findings, facilitate scientific exchange, and identify potential new collaborations.

13th Annual Department of Medicine Research Day

Our 2020 virtual event celebrated a record attendance of more than 350 researchers, faculty, staff, and medical students as well as 171 poster presentations - the most since the event began in 2008!

Research Day was an exciting venture for Dan Dressler, MD, professor of medicine, and his daughter, Rachel Dressler. During this year’s event, Rachel, a high school student, presented her award-winning research project on bacterial contamination of stethoscopes with the support of her father.

Event Highlights

The program included both oral and poster presentations, two highlighted research talks, and a keynote address. Awards were given at the conclusion of the day to recognize the most outstanding presentations.

We were pleased to have Mark Gladwin, MD, chair of the Department of Medicine and director of the Vascular Medicine Institute at the University of Pittsburgh, as the keynote speaker. His presentation was titled, “Hemolytic anemia as a mechanism for vasculopathy and pulmonary hypertension in sickle cell disease and other hemolytic conditions."
