Welcome to the 2022 Mizzou Musculoskeletal Research Symposium Graphical Abstract web page. Here, we feature three-minute research presentations from (a) Undergraduate, (b) PhD and Medical Students, and (c) Post-Doctoral Research Fellows.

The Faculty Review Committee will score each presentation based on the following categories: (1) Content, (2) Research Complexity, (3) Appearance and Clarity, (4) Organization, and (5) Oral Presentation. The top two presentations from each of the three trainee categories will receive recognition and a monetary award during the Virtual Keynote Lecture by Dr. Steven Badylak on April 1st at 9 AM CST. If you would like to attend the Keynote Lecture, please register for the event by emailing Dr. Mel Boeyer.
