On behalf of the Microbiology & Immunology Undergraduate Research Symposium (MBIM URS) Organising Committee, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the 2024 Symposium. So much ground-breaking research has been completed in the last year through research pursuits in the context of Directed Studies and Honors Projects, Co-op placements, and other laboratory positions. We are excited to welcome UBC undergraduate students to share their research in areas related to Microbiology, Immunology and Biotechnology.

Science communication is a fundamental component of the research process, facilitating crucial engagement with and appreciation of benchtop discoveries. We are honoured to be the Co-Chairs of an event that provides a platform for undergraduates to communicate their discoveries with a broad audience consisting of their peers and members of the greater research community.

We look forward to meeting you, learning about all your hard work and research projects, and sharing new insights on April 29th, 2024.

Sincerely,

Melika Hajimohammadi and Nicholas Viegas (Student Co-Chairs, MBIM URS 2024)
