MMC’s chapter of the Undergraduate Affiliate Network of the American Society for Chemistry and Molecular Biology is co-sponsoring the event for the third consecutive year.
The symposium is an exchange of ideas by science students from colleges and universities in the mid-Atlantic area. At the event, students will present findings in biochemistry, physiology, cell and molecular biology, genetics, ecology and evolution, nanochemistry, and general and material chemistry at poster sessions throughout the day. A panel of mentors will issue awards to the top two presenters in each category. The event will also feature a keynote address by Dr. Narayan S. Hosmane, a distinguished research professor from Northern Illinois University, entitled “Nanotechnology-Driven Cancer Therapy.”
