Cellular and Genetic Experimental Models of Human Conditions

Thursday, October 11, 2012: 10:15 AM-11:45 AM
619 (WSCC)
Chairs:
Benjamin Ortiz, PhD, Associate Professor, City University of New York, Hunter College , Allison Gammie, PhD, Senior Lecturer, Princeton University and Luis Vidali, PhD, Assistant Professor, Worcester Polytechnic Institute

Description: Scientists investigate the molecular, cellular and genetic basis of human health and disease using important experimental organisms that model human conditions from embryogenesis to aging. In this session, we will highlight the significant contributions of undergraduate and graduate student research to advancing both the field and student professional development.
