The UAMS College of Medicine Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology organized and sponsored the event with support from the UAMS Graduate School and the IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) program.
“This symposium stands as a testament to the curiosity, dedication and ingenuity of students, who have embarked on journeys of exploration within their respective fields. Undergraduate research is not merely a supplement to coursework; it is a transformative experience that nurtures critical thinking, problem-solving skills and a deeper understanding of academic disciplines.”
