Des Moines University Medicine and Health Sciences will host its 2025 Research Symposium and Young Scientist Program on Nov. 14-15, at its campus in West Des Moines. The event is open to DMU faculty, staff and students, as well as partners and members of the larger medical and scientific community in the region. Up to 20 individuals from Iowa higher education institutions will be able to submit their posters for this competitive event. It also includes poster sessions, a panel discussion titled “Transforming Patient Care Through Technology-Driven Translational Research” and student presentations. On Friday, the symposium will feature a keynote address from Dr. Lakshmanan Krishnamurti, a pediatric hematologist-oncologist whose career has been dedicated to advancing care for individuals with sickle cell disease. He currently serves as professor of pediatrics and chief of pediatric hematology, oncology and bone marrow transplantation at Yale University Hospital. On Saturday, students from across Iowa will participate in the Young Scientist Program, an opportunity for high schoolers in grades 9-12 to present their research posters and engage in hands-on research activities.
