Each year, the CHOP Research Institute celebrates the groundbreaking basic, clinical, behavioral, and translational research taking place at CHOP during our annual Poster Day and Scientific Symposium. This year's symposium talks will highlight the remarkable breakthroughs achieved over the past decade through CHOP's Frontier Programs.
The 2025 Poster Day and Symposium will take place on Tuesday, May 6th, Wednesday, May 7th and Thursday, May 8th. Symposium talks will take place in the 1st floor auditorium in the Hub for Clinical Collaboration. Poster sessions will be held in the Colket Translational Research Building (CTRB) lobby. A reception and awards ceremony will be held on May 8th in the Hub.
During this in-person celebration of research, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the exciting work of our faculty and trainees and network with others across campus. All members of the CHOP and Penn community are welcome to attend regardless of research focus or clinical specialty!
Please Note: Photographs for the purpose of publicity and marketing will take place at this event.
