The Centre for Blood Research (CBR) is excited to share poster presentations and video poster pitches from our 10th Annual Norman Bethune Symposium. Created by undergraduates and graduate trainees, these submissions cover a variety of important topics, from assessing the effectiveness of cold-stored platelets in trauma patients to characterizing the binding mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 variants.
