Graduate and professional students, post doctorate fellows, and medical house staff presented research to faculty and peers during Student Research Day at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). Nobel Prize winner Craig C. Mello, Ph.D., spoke as part of the Robert E. McGehee Jr., Ph.D., Distinguished Lectureship in Biomedical Research.
A concurrent Student Research Day was held at the Northwest Regional Campus in Fayetteville for the second consecutive year.
In addition to the Mello presentation, the March 5 event, held at the I. Dodd Wilson Education Building, consisted of two research project presentation poster sessions, the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition and awards in various categories. More than 250 posters were submitted, with all five colleges and the Graduate School represented between the two participating campuses.
