MHLS Postgraduate Conference June 2010
The annual MHLS Postgraduate Research Student Conference provides an excellent opportunity for students to share their work with colleagues across the Faculty and to attend keynote lectures given by renowned guest speakers. The conference is designed to provide a realistic experience for students to present their research. Students from each of the Faculty’s four Schools are invited to submit abstracts for poster or oral presentations, depending on the stage of their research work. The majority of the presentations represent two or more years of study. Prizes are available for the best posters; best oral presentations and best published paper (see specific criteria and guidance). 
Senior academic staff members act as chairs of the sessions and contribute to judging panels. We are grateful to all of the sponsors who help to support the conference, many of whom also provide an exhibition of resources and equipment for researchers, alongside the poster display.
The 2009/10 conference will take place on Wednesday 9th & Thursday 10th June 2010 at Southampton General Hospital.
Professor Philip Parsons from the University of Sussex will be presenting a Keynote Lecture on Wednesday 9 June. The title of his talk will be: A career in organic synthetic chemistry from methodology to biologically important molecules to new medicines
Professor Alison Richardson from Southampton General Hospital NHS Trust/University of Southampton will be presenting a Keynote Lecture on Thursday 10 June. The title of her talk will be: Achieving patient centred cancer care through the application of research
Template for creating Oral or Poster Abstract
Oral and poster presenters are required to provide an abstract for inclusion in the Abstract Booklet, which will be given to attendees at the conference. Instructions on the layout of the abstract are given on the template, and it is important that these instructions are followed exactly. Abstract Template
