Annual Symposium

The JMBGSA Annual Symposium provides all our students a venue to showcase their cutting edge work by means of oral and poster presentations. In addition, this is a wonderful opportunity to gain exposure to the research done in various areas of life sciences on our campus.

This year's symposium was held on March 8, 2013 at the Rutgers Life Sciences Atrium, Busch Campus from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM.  The keynote speaker was Jim Millonig, PhD, Associate Professor, Neuroscience and Cell Biology at UMDNJ-RWJMS, Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine.
