2025 WaNPRC Scientific Symposium

SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT!

If you’re interested in presenting, please respond via this Abstract Submission Form by September 30th.  We are soliciting abstracts from any individuals or groups within the WaNPRC community, and not just from early-stage investigators. The Symposium Scientific Committee will review the abstracts and invite several lightning talks and posters to represent the many areas of diverse research that the Center Supports.  Email questions to nhp-sci-symposium@uw.edu.

Featuring Keynote presentation by Autumn Sorrells, MS

Autumn Sorrells has spent the last seven years assisting Elon Musk’s company, Neuralink in reaching their first clinical trials which they achieved in April of this year. Her focus has been animal welfare refinements in the medical research field to improve how we collect valuable data while respecting the lives that make it possible. Autumn’s new venture as a contracting animal welfare scientist allows her to take the refinements they were able to achieve at Neuralink and implement them in laboratories across the Bay Area, advancing our industry as a whole.
