The Research Council hosted its third annual Research Day in April 2007, approving 81 posters for display. Gary Schoolnik, MD, chief of Stanford University School of Medicine’s Division of Geographic Medicine and Infectious Diseases, presented the 2007 Stanley Chapman Distinguished Research Lecture, “The Molecular Ecology of Vibrio cholerae in the Gangetic Delta.” Of the 81 posters, 24 were eligible for the Research Council’s poster competition, which was open to those studies that were conducted primarily by a medical student or a fellow or resident within the Department of Medicine. Posters were judged on the quality of the research design, the significance of the findings, the current and anticipated impacts on the applicable field of study, and the individual’s ability to present his or her findings when queried. Winners of the poster competition were (1) Narendra Siddaiah, MD; (2) Stephen Weeks, MD; and (3) Chris Abrasley, MD.
