TQEH Research Expo 

The 2018 TQEH Research Expo (incorporating TQEH Research Day) was held on Thursday 18 and Friday 19 October. Each October the Basil Hetzel Institute for Translational Health Research holds a Research Expo which provides researchers in training the opportunity to gain valuable experience in delivering an oral or poster presentation before a broad audience. The work presented at Research Expo must have been substantially undertaken at the Basil Hetzel Institute, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and not have been previously presented at a TQEH Research Expo.
