Congratulations to all the presenters who participated in this year’s Biomedical Symposium. The INBRE Judges and Leadership decided on 4 top winners and 5 honorable mentions for their outstanding presentations. Thirty-six INBRE students, (34 presentations), presented at this event. The presentations were held in 5 breakout rooms, with over 200 people in attendance throughout the day.
Due to COVID-19, the symposium was held virtually for the first time. This new platform created new but exciting challenges for our students as they made their way preparing presentation slides, timing their speeches, and creating posters that were displayed on the Biomedical Symposium website.
Congratulations to all presenters and a big mahalo to everyone who came to support them!
