Four SHU doctoral students attended the North-East Postgraduate Conference (NEPG), the UK’s largest annual postgraduate conference for medical biosciences.
Mootaz Salman was part of the organising committee, the first time in the last ten years that a committee member has come from outside Newcastle University. Mootaz chaired the neuroscience session and participated in judging oral and poster presentations.
Hasan Aldewachi, Amal Arhoma and Ranwa Elrayess each presented posters that showcase their research at Sheffield Hallam University to colleagues and experts from all over the UK.
As early career researchers, attending this conference significantly broadened the students’ horizons by meeting with leading researchers, having scientific discussions, exchanging ideas and gathering feedback. It was an extremely encouraging conference that gave everyone more confidence in the work they are doing.
