“This creates an opportunity to engage with people from colleges across the University from diverse backgrounds and disciplines," says Deborah Yurgelun-Todd, PhD, Vice Chair of Research at Huntsman Mental Health Institute. “We are incredibly excited about Research Day and how it will grow and change in years to come.”

The University will bring together academics, researchers, and experts from throughout the University of Utah to showcase innovative work in their respective fields. The intention is to foster collaboration to improve health care outcomes for everyone.
