EB2018
EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY MEETINGS
San Diego, California
APRIL 20-24, 2018

For the past 19 years, the University of Delaware Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s (HHMI) Undergraduate Science Education Program has sent undergraduate students to the Experimental Biology Meetings to present their research. As part of this conference, the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) sponsored its 22nd Undergraduate Poster Competition in which 13 UD students participated. Since 2001, students from the University have received more awards in this competition than students from any other college or university.
