### **Physiology Research Day 2025: Sharing innovative research and celebrating achievements of the Department of Physiology**

Physiology Research Day is a research conference hosted by the Physiology Graduate Students' Association (PGSA) at the University of Alberta. This annual event unites faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students to present the results of their research, exchange ideas, and celebrate their achievements. Your contribution supports this day of learning, allowing students to develop solutions for medical problems and improve patient care.
**This year, the conference will be held on Saturday, May 5, 8:00am to 5:00pm at the Telus Building, University of Alberta.**

### **Why We Need Your Support**

The success of Physiology Research Day depends on community support!

At Physiology Research Day, your gift funds this conference where students can share their findings. For example, a student explaining a new way to see how cells in our body fight off infections, another demonstrating a device that monitors patient recovery, or a presentation on the results of a study testing a new medication.

This conference is where students learn how to take their findings from the lab and explain them clearly to others. This is where they learn to answer questions, defend their work, and listen to feedback. Your gift helps them become the kind of scientists who can translate research into better health!

This event will also feature Dr. Anastasia Voronova as the keynote speaker. Dr. Voronova’s pioneering work in stem cell research has made a global impact, and her presence at the event will inspire and enrich the academic dialogue.

Your donation will help cover the costs of organizing this event, ensuring that it remains an accessible and meaningful platform for students to showcase their work and build professional connections!

### What Does Your Gift Do?

Every donation makes a direct impact on the success of Physiology Research Day. Your contribution will help fund important aspects of the event, including student awards that recognize outstanding research presentations. Funds will also go towards making the event a seamless experience for all involved:
For example:

* A donation of $250 could help fund a best oral presentation or poster presentation award, recognizing an excellent student researcher.
* A contribution of $100 could cover tech support staff
* A gift of $50 could support materials such as poster boards students need to display their research, ensuring smooth and accessible participation for all attendees.

### **Help Us Make an Impact**

Your contribution will support the student presentations, expert feedback, and collaborative moments that define Physiology Research Day.

Join us in reaching our $4000 goal to ensure that Physiology Research Day remains a memorable event that supports student learning, mentorship, and professional development in health sciences!
