The University of Florida’s Center for Integrative Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disease, or CICMD, celebrated another successful academic year by hosting its Early Career Showcase and Mixer Event at the Harn Museum of Art on May 13. The event spotlighted the center’s trainees and the research led by a multidisciplinary team of basic, clinical and population scientists supporting the center.
The evening began with a poster session featuring more than 20 postdoctoral fellows and graduate students from eight different UF departments. Michelle Gumz, Ph.D., a professor in the UF College of Medicine and co-director of the CICMD, followed the poster session with a presentation recapping the center’s previous year of activities. The program then transitioned into four oral presentations led by graduate students from UF/IFAS, the UF College of Pharmacy and the UF College of Health and Human Performance. An award ceremony concluded the evening where Jin-Su Kim, a third-year graduate student in the department of applied physiology and kinesiology, won the top oral presentation award, and Tanmay Arekar, M.S., a first-year graduate student in the department of medicine, took home the top honors in the poster competition. The second- and third-place finishers in each category were also presented awards.
