For 20 Years, Research Day Shines a Light on Ochsner Scientists

Research is one of the pillars of Ochsner Health’s mission to continually improve healthcare for the Gulf South. Each May, Ochsner provides a platform to show the cutting-edge work its researchers do within biomedicine—from students in The University of Queensland - Ochsner Health Doctor of Medicine Program to postdoctoral fellows and clinical residents. This year’s variety of research topics showcase the vast curiosity of the extended Ochsner family.

Events like Ochsner’s Research Day give Ochsner’s scholars the chance to shine and engage in in-depth discussions of their ongoing work with like-minded scholars. Ochsner’s staff isn’t just devoted to providing the best care available to patients: they’re also actively working to expand the possibilities of care. Abstract submissions and podium presentations enable scientists to make their findings known in a public forum and receive recognition from the Ochsner community.

The programming includes plenary sessions, a keynote address, a poster display and an evening networking session with food and refreshments in the Benson Cancer Center.

Presenters discuss their work at the 2022 Ochsner Research Day Poster Session.
