WSU students head to Annual Biomedical Research Conference for minority students Nov. 11-14 in Seattle

More than a dozen Washington State University students have been selected to present their faculty-mentored research through posters and oral presentations at the 15th Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS) Nov. 11-14 in Seattle.

ABRCMS is one of the largest, professional conferences for underrepresented minority students, veterans, and disabilities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields. In addition to their judged presentations, the WSU students will take part in scientific sessions and professional development workshops.

“The number of students accepted to participate in ABRCMS this year is amazing, and speaks to the caliber of research being done by them at our university,” said Shelley Pressley, WSU Office of Undergraduate Research director.

Subjects of their presentations include muscle fibers, intracellular infection, wearable technology, and viral assembly and budding.

Each year, 3,600 individuals attend the event, including undergraduates, graduate, and doctoral students as well as faculty and administrators. Managed by the American Society for Microbiology, the conference helps to enhance the scientific and professional development of young scientists and to create networks with peers.
