Undergraduate students enrolled in Course 20 or conducting research in BE labs are officially invited to participate in the:
Biological Engineering Undergraduate Research Symposium
taking place on Friday, April 19th, 2024 at 1 - 4pm
in the Koch Institute gallery.
UROP or internship work of course:
Nicely wrapped up and impactful (or still in progress!) research
This work is very welcome and will be propelled forward by interactions with an astute and supportive audience.
Research design projects:
Do you have an interesting biological engineering project from a class or a theoretical research project that you want to develop?
Create these projects over the semester and present them at the symposium! (Note: these projects must be approved by the organizers)
Academic extracurriculars:
Do you have a club, activity, or outreach initiative that you want to advertise to your undergraduate peers?
This year we are creating a section that focuses on research-adjacent activities. (Note that organizers will review these posters’ contents for approval.)
Organizers Dr. Becky Meyer (rcmeyer [at] mit [dot] edu) and Dr. Maxine Jonas (jonas_m [at] mit [dot] edu)
welcome your questions!
