Scientific publications today are biased towards reporting positive results to tell a good story. Whereas, well controlled studies resulting in non-significant data are less likely to get published. This creates a publication bias which severely impacts the ability to accurately synthesize data and limits an appropriate description of complex research problems. This session will highlight the impact of research studies where results led to an independent finding through oral presentations from trainees that were selected from submitted abstracts. Additionally, this session will feature a keynote speaker presenting a translational science study on the delivery of mAbs.
