I am a Manitoba Participant, how do I enter the National Poster competition?
Students from Manitoba are selected from the participants in the Manitoba Poster Competition.
I am a National Participant, how do I register?
You must be selected by your Faculty for participation in the National Poster Presentation - please contact your Associate Dean of Graduate studies to be considered for selection. Your nominator must complete a nomination form on your behalf. A link to the nomination form can be found on the 'National Poster Presentation' page prior to registration each year.
What size will the poster boards be?
The post-able size of the poster boards is four feet high by four feet wide (4' x 4') for each participant. Please ensure your poster does not exceed 4' wide or you will encroach on the next participant's space. You may attach your posters with tacks or velcro (not provided).
Will there be internet access at the forum?
Yes, participants will be able to access their wireless using Eduroam.
What is Eduroam?
Eduroam (education roaming) is a roaming wireless access service developed for the international research and education community. It allows students, faculty and staff from participating institutions to securely access the Internet when visiting other participating institutions using their home credentials.
How to use Eduroam?
Please visit the Eduroam website for instructions on how to get set up.
What's the catch… how can all this good stuff really be free?

Methods: The SILAC method allows for a more complete determination of the cell's proteome. 293 cells were adapted into different SILAC media and infected with the TIL strain of reovirus at MOI of 7 PFU/cell. Infected cells were harvested…
Results: The 2-D LC/MS method identified 3001 and 3079 proteins, respectively, from the 6 and 24hpi T1Linfected samples – approximately 3-fold more than were identified by the SDS-PAGE method. 356 proteins were found to be…
Conclusion: SILAC is an effective way of generating an overview of the host cell and viral interactions, which can lead to particular host cell pathways that are spe…
