2020 Stanford CARE Summer Research Symposium: Poster Presentations
On behalf of the Stanford Center for Asian Health Research and Education (CARE), we invite you to the Stanford CARE Summer Research Symposium 2020, as a showcase for innovative Asian health research from around the world. Stanford CARE’s mission is to improve the health of Asians everywhere, through excellence in precision research and education. This year, we are proud to showcase the critical Asian health research conducted by students at the CARE Summer Research Intensive (CARE-SRI) and the University of Hong Kong University (HKU).
The goal of CARE-SRI is to train the next generation of Asian Health researchers and provide undergraduate and graduate students with high quality Asian Health research experiences leading to publication. This year, the CARE-SRI program took on 19 students from around the world, who worked on 2 sets of projects: a large database project and a special mentored research project with leading Stanford faculty.
CARE is also proud to celebrate our new collaboration with The University of Hong Kong Schools of Public Health and Medicine. The partnership between these two leading universities will accelerate Asian health research around the world. We are pleased to launch our partnership by welcoming HKU students to present their research at the Symposium.
Please join us as we celebrate the importance of Asian health and the work of our rising researchers!
