2012 Medical Student Research Symposium – April 5

All BSOM students and faculty are invited to attend the 4th annual Medical Student Research Symposium on Thursday, April 5, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. in White Hall on the WSU main campus.

The symposium begins at 6:00  p.m. in 101 White Hall  (Gandhi Auditorium) with welcoming remarks and the 2012 Distinguished Scholar Lecture. A poster reception with 48 student research posters  follows at 6:30 p.m. in the White Hall Atrium.

The Distinguished Scholar Lecture will be presented by Kelly Miller, an M.D./Ph.D. candidate who graduates this year from Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine.  She completed her Ph.D. research in biochemistry and molecular biology in 2010 in the laboratory of Steven J. Berberich, Ph.D. Her dissertation research examined Induction of p53 Dependent Cellular Senescence through MDMX Inhibition or YPEL3 Expression (see abstratct).  After graduation, she will begin residency training in internal medicine at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio.

The symposium is organized by the Wright State Medical Student Research Club with support from the BSOM Office of Research Affairs. For more information, contact Adam Deardorff (deardorff.2@wright.edu).

Symposium Proceedings are archived in the WSU Libraries CORE (Campus Online Repository). See 2010 Proceedings | 2011 Proceedings.
