UNDERGRADUATE 100 HOUR PRESENTATIONS

All of our undergraduate students proudly presented their 100-hour research projects, showcasing months of hard work, curiosity, and dedication. The first to present was Marina, who set a high standard with her thoughtful and well-prepared talk. Throughout the past weeks, we were inspired by a wide range of topics that reflected the diversity of interests and scientific exploration within our department. We heard compelling presentations on Huntington’s disease and the role of genetic mutations in neurodegeneration, as well as the function of the Parkin gene in Parkinson’s research. Several students explored cutting-edge technologies like next-generation sequencing and Nanopore sequencing, illustrating how modern tools are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in biomedical research. The depth and clarity of the presentations were a testament to the students’ commitment and the guidance they’ve received from their mentors. It was exciting to witness such passion for science in the next generation of researchers. We are incredibly proud of each student and look forward to seeing where their curiosity will take them next.
