Award recipients announced at 30th Annual Life & Health Sciences Research Expo

On May 4, 2023, the University of Saskatchewan (USask) community gathered to acknowledge exemplary health science research and learning taking place on campus and throughout the province.

For the first time since being cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the University of Saskatchewan’s Life & Health Sciences Research Expo returned in 2023 as an in-person event in the USask Health Sciences Building.

USask graduate students, undergraduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and dentistry and medical residents were invited to showcase their research and compete for prizes in competition categories exploring basic, translational, clinical, and applied science as well as social and population health. Awards were also presented for Best Paper in each competition category and for Best Supervisor.
