Tufts S2P2 - Summer Symposium for Pipeline Programs

We are excited to announce the third Summer Symposium for Pipeline Programs (S2P2) at Tufts University School of Medicine and Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. This event, which will be held Thursday, August 1, 2024, is designed to connect and support current and former trainees at Tufts who have participated in our Pipeline Programs: Building Diversity in the Biomedical Sciences (BDBS), Pathway to the PhD (P2P), PREP, and IRACDA. The Symposium has been designed to support the mission of our Pipeline Programs, which seek to increase the diversity of our biomedical workforce and thus strengthen the research enterprise overall.

The S2P2 Symposium will consist of scientific talks and a career panel by our esteemed alumni and a keynote talk by Dr. Cornelius Taabazuing, a distinguished biochemist and dedicated advocate fostering equity and inclusion in academia.

The talks will not only focus on the scientific work of our alumni but also their journey in science. We hope that by sharing the perspectives of alumni trainees at later stages of their careers with trainees at earlier stages and by promoting interactions between these groups of talented individuals, we will (i) build new connections and strengthen existing ones among our Tufts community and (ii) provide inspiration and advice on building careers in science. These goals will be further supported by a poster session by current BDBS students, round table discussions on subjects like “Careers in Industry,” and ample networking opportunities.
