Bay Area RaMP Program in Microbiome Sciences
Bay Area RaMP Program in Microbiome Sciences
Our 2024-2025 scholar cohort did a great job presenting their research at the 2025 Symposium. Congratulations on the successful completion of the program, scholars! Information about the 2026 Symposium will be released in early 2026.
Each year the program hosts a full-day symposium to celebrate the hard work and success of our scholars. This event features scholar research presentations, a keynote presentation by one of our advisors, a panel discussion on the future of microbiome research and more! It is a chance for our community and the RaMP network to come together in solidarity and shared love of science.
