All Medicine Housestaff members pursing basic or clinical research submitted an abstract and poster. Nearly 60 posters were on display.

Neel Distinguished University Professor of Internal Medicine & Human Genetics, Research Professor, Life Sciences Institute, University of Michigan, led a discussion on, “Von Willebrand Disease (VWD) and Thrombocytopenic Pupura (TTP): Different Sides of the Same Coin.”
Four members of the housestaff — Dmitriy Zamarin, MD, Ype DeJong, MD, Adam Ehrlich, MD and Gregg Lainer, MD — were pre-selected by the Research Day Advisory Committee to give oral presentations before the interdisciplinary audience.
Housestaff Research Day at Mount Sinai serves to strengthen the relationship between faculty and housestaff. Residents and fellows formulate ideas and collaborate with their faculty mentors, furthering the commitment of both parties to ongoing learning and discovery while meeting training requirements.
