The MBIM URS is an excellent opportunity for undergraduate students to share their research findings, develop communication skills, and network with UBC faculty and peers.
The symposium will include 10-minute or 3-minute oral presentations and posters featuring the work of our undergraduate students done in research laboratories (MICB 448/449/Co-op), and some of our experiential learning courses (MICB 406/421/447/475/471).
Prizes for the top presentations and posters will be awarded.
