From the lab to the clinic: medical research at westmead
The Westmead Research Showcase brings together clinicians, researchers and students from across the Westmead campus to highlight current research activity and career pathways. This year’s program will include a strong focus on genetics and genomic research, alongside panel discussions exploring clinician‑researcher experiences and pathways, with practical insights into balancing clinical practice, research and training. The Showcase is designed to complement the University of Sydney HDR Conference and support emerging researchers navigating clinical and academic careers.
