Translational Discovery Forums (TDF)

These are informal sessions where clinical and basic sciences investigators present information on their collaborative research activities. Each TDF is focused on a division of the IND or on one of the disease areas where new and exciting interdisciplinary research is taking.

These sessions are open to the public and to all interested researchers and clinicians. They are held in Beller Auditorium on the KUMC campus, usually on a Friday afternoon from 3-5pm. For more information, contact Tina Darrow Fowler by calling (913) 588-5970 or through email at tfowler@kumc.edu.
