Research Symposium

The ACPHS Student Research Symposium showcases faculty-guided student research across various disciplines.

Research Symposium: See the Science. Meet the Minds

Each year, the ACPHS Research Symposium celebrates the original research conducted by our students across a wide range of disciplines. This two-day signature event is a unique opportunity for students to showcase their work to classmates, faculty and leaders across the health-sciences industry.

Here鈥檚 what you can expect:

  • Explore an interactive display of student research posters
  • Attend podium presentations led by students and faculty
  • Hear from guest speakers at the forefront of their fields
  • Connect with the vibrant ACPHS research community

The poster session mirrors the format of a professional academic conference. It features a wide range of student research and provides the opportunity to present through both posters and oral presentations. The next day, faculty take the spotlight鈥攕haring their current research in longer-format talks that allow for deeper discussion and insight into their work. Whether you’re attending virtually or exploring the poster session on campus, you’ll experience the in-depth, innovative student research happening at 糖心vlog.

Welcome from President Toyin Tofade

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Juergen Hahn, PhD, Director of the Jackson Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

Topic: “Towards the Development of a Diagnostic Test for Autism Spectrum Disorder: Data Science Meets Metabolomics”

Dr. Hahn also holds appointments in RPI’s Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering.

His research focuses on computational systems biology, with a particular emphasis on data science approaches applied to autism spectrum disorder. He has authored over 170 peer-reviewed publications. His work includes the development of metabolite-based diagnostic tools for ASD, using multivariate data analysis of markers of oxidative stress and DNA methylation to classify and predict adaptive behavior in children with autism.
Dr. Hahn received his diploma degree in engineering from RWTH Aachen, Germany, in 1997, and his MS and PhD degrees in chemical engineering from the University of Texas, Austin, in 1998 and 2002, respectively. He is a recipient of a Fulbright scholarship, has been elected as an AIMBE Fellow (2013), an AIChE Fellow (2020), and a Fellow of BMES (2022), and was elected to the European Academy of Sciences and Arts in 2024.
