UOJM is happy to have collaborated with the Faculty of Medicine Research Day Committee to put together this published book of abstracts from projects that were presented during Research Day 2019. The following abstracts highlight the quality and diversity of research that is ongoing at the University of Ottawa, of which we are incredibly proud. We’d like to thank all those on the Research Day Committee, the UOJM team, and all students involved for their hard work in contributing to and finalizing the abstract book.
