Chemistry Student Wins 1st Place at Molecular Biology Conference
Congratulations to Jordan Ngo, a MARC scholar and senior chemistry student working in Dr. Bhandari's lab, for winning first place at the American Society of Cell Biology and European Molecular Biology Organization (ASCB | EMBO) conference in San Diego on December 8-12, 2018. Jordan's undergraduate poster, titled "Identification and Characterization of a Novel Phosphoregulatory Site on Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 5," competed against ~160 other students and received a perfect score from both judges.
The mission of the Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) Undergraduate Student Training in Academic Research (U*STAR) Program is to increase diversity in biomedical research by identifying students interested in pursuing research as a career at an early stage and by providing training opportunities.
