YCCI and the Rockefeller University established an annual Scholar Research Day in 2009 that alternately takes place at each institution. This event features a keynote speech by a guest lecturer, presentations by YCCI and Rockefeller Scholars, and a poster session. It provides an opportunity for Scholars to learn from experienced researchers at other institutions as well as collaborate with their peers.
