New Investigators

Following on the success of the New Investigators’ Meetings at the 14th and 15th International Conferences, the Inflammation Research Association will sponsor two sessions for New Investigators mentoring and networking opportunities. There will be a Speed Networking session Monday, September 27th and a panel discussion over breakfast on Wednesday, September 29th.


Network Session

On Monday, September 27th, a speed networking reception will be held for New Investigators from 5:00-6:30 pm. Start your Conference experience meeting IRA members in a fun, informal setting! Speed Networking will feature 6 sequential, one on one, ten minute conversations, offering an opportunity for fast-paced interactions with IRA professionals. Introduce yourself, ask questions, and connect with Association members!


Breakfast Panel

A New Investigators Breakfast Panel will be held on Wednesday, September 29th. Key individuals from industry and academia will discuss the critical steps to get that first job after post-graduate training. Through engaging presentations and sage discussions with industry (pharmaceutical, biotech, and not-for-profit) and academic representatives, participants will leave the New Investigators Breakfast Panel with:

  1. an appreciation of the employment outlook in both the
    near and far term;

  2. an understanding of the process involved in applying
    for industrial and academic positions;

  3. recommendations for CV style and content;

  4. successful interview techniques; and

  5. contacts for career discernment and advice.


Please join us at these events by checking off the "New Investigator" box as you complete your online registration. You will then be invited to both the New Investigators' Speed Networking Session and the New Investigators Breakfast Panel Discussion.
