| Annual Student Research Open House | ||||
|
On the Third Friday of every July doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows in the Marine Biomedicine and Environmental Sciences Center and trainees associated with the MBES present their previous year’s research in poster format at the MUSC White House on the Ft. Johnson campus. All MBES faculty, mentors, MUSC medical faculty and Ft. Johnson staff and faculty attend this informal and enjoyable event. This late afternoon student research presentation is preceded by a Keynote Lecture from an eminent scientist in one of the many fields encompassing the molecular and chemical approaches to understanding the relationship between the environment and human health. An important aspect of this day is the noon luncheon that the students enjoy separately with the keynote speaker. |
