The URS will take place in person this year on April 28, 2023!
The event schedule has now been posted!
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.
Please direct any questions about the symposium to Dr. Evelyn Sun (evelyn.sun@ubc.ca).
