The Sealy Center on Aging in conjunction with Research Services held the 14th Annual Sealy Center on Aging Forum Poster Session in Levin Hall. The major purpose of the forum is to inform gerontology researchers, in particular, and the UTMB community, in general, of the types of aging research going on at UTMB and of the resources available from the Sealy Center on Aging and Research Services.
This year's Forum provided 78 presentations including 22 student posters to a crowd of over 150. The Forum also provides monetary awards to the best student posters in specific research categories.
