Life Sciences Research Night
Life Sciences Research Night (LSRN) is the signature annual event of UBC URO. LSRN brings together researchers, academics, and industry professionals to mentor students in life sciences. In partnership with BC Children’s Hospital, the Centre for Blood Research, and UBC Faculty of Science, the event offers workshops showcasing research opportunities in life sciences—all in one memorable evening.
