GRAND FORKS, N.D.—The University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences will hold the 34th Annual Frank N.

Frank Low Research Day provides a forum where faculty and students can be exposed to the latest research interests and activities of their colleagues. Held for the first time in the spring of 1981, Research Day was dedicated in the name of Frank N. Low, Ph.D., upon his retirement as a gesture of recognition for his contributions to research at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences.

From 8 a.m. to 11:45 a.m., faculty as well as graduate, health sciences, and medical students will be available to discuss their research at the posters presentation in the Vennes Atrium.

Joshua Wynne, M.D., M.B.A., M.P.H., UND vice president for health affairs and dean of the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences, will deliver the opening remarks at noon in the Reed Keller Lecture Hall.

From 12:15 to 1:15 p.m., keynote speaker Andrew D. Badley will present his address "Translational approaches to curing HIV Infection." At Mayo Clinic, Badley is a professor of medicine and consultant in the Division of Infectious Diseases; associate director of the Research Resources component of the Center for Translational Science Activities; and theme leader for infectious disease research on the Research Development Council, an internal Mayo committee.

Frank Low invited talks by faculty and graduate students are from 1:30 to 4:15 p.m. Poster awards will be announced at 4:15 p.m.
