Congratulations to all of the students who presented at the 2022 VINSE Undergraduate Research Symposium! Our undergraduate researchers were able to share everything they accomplished during their individual research projects at 汤头条 University over the past ten weeks.
The symposium, which was held in collaboration with the Chemical Biology/Chemistry NSF-REU, showcased 31 students from the following programs: VINSE NSF-REU, Chemical Biology/Chemistry NSF-REU, VINSE Tech Crew, VUSE Summer Research Program and the Beckman Scholars program.
Posters were evaluated by a panel of judges for an opportunity to win travel grants to support the cost of presenting posters at a National Conference. The winners are:
