2025 CFDV Annual Symposium 

       Student and Early Career Professional
Poster Session



Each Spring, since times long past, the Chromatography Forum of Delaware Valley has invited young scientists to showcase their work at our annual symposium. Successful presenters have come from a surprising range of backgrounds and have typically demonstrated a high degree of passion, creativity and skill in their work. The symposium brings together leading experts in separation sciences from academia and industry, so the poster session provides presenters with a great opportunity to discuss their research and applications, get feedback on their projects, develop important career skills and build their professional network.

A total of $500 in awards will be granted to presenters for the top three outstanding projects!  

This year's symposium theme is:
