The Beckman Institute at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign hosted a mini-conference on January 24, 2025, to connect researchers studying aging. The event, titled “Connecting Researchers Studying Aging”, started with 4-minute lightning talks from faculty members from departments across campus.
Dr. Wendy Rogers introduced CREATE in her lightning talk, and postdoctoral scholars Dr. Pallabi Bhowmick and Dr. Hye Soo Lee represented CREATE Projects 1 and 3 in the luncheon poster session. These posters showcased ongoing projects and research foci of CREATE, including utilizing Virtual Reality and supporting Medicare decisions.
This conference provided a valuable opportunity to share our research, connect with others, and engage with different labs across campus. To learn more about this event, please visit the Beckman Institute website.
