3rd Annual Merck-UNC Research Forum and Idea

Merck is coming to campus and wants to meet with UNC Postdocs, Grad Students & Faculty. This is an exciting opportunity to network with a wide array of Merck scientists who are looking for talent and to foster collaboration with UNC scientists.

We strongly encourage any UNC postdocs that are interested in learning more about Merck and impactful networking to register for the Merck-UNC Research Forum and Idea Exchange on October 19th, held on the Ground Floor of Murray Hall. The symposium will feature keynote lectures by Prof. Michael Fitzgerald from Duke and Dr. Jason Cheung from Merck. The symposium also provides a unique opportunity to come and present your science with either a lightning talk or poster to over 20 Merck scientists from Research & Development, Discovery Chemistry, Structural Biology, and Manufacturing. These areas encompass all disciplines in Chemistry, Virology, Immunology, Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology, Pharmacology, Protein Sciences, Predictive sciences, Toxicology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Materials Sciences, and more!

If you are interested in presenting a poster or a lightning talk, please email Julie McIntosh (Julie.McIntosh@Merck.com) with a title and short abstract by September 29th. Please specify if you would like to be considered for poster, talk, or either. Presenters will be notified by October 5th if their poster of lightning talk is accepted.

Please reach out to Patrick Brandt (patrick_brandt@med.unc.edu) or Ralph House (rlhouse@email.unc.edu) with any questions.
