Thu, 14 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000 /undergrad-research/271 /undergrad-research/blog/2023/08/presenting-conference-20000-attendees The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting is a massive, international conference with over 20,000 people at the 2023 meeting. Sat, 12 Aug 2023 12:00:00 +0000 /undergrad-research/200 /undergrad-research/blog/2023/05/growing-through-research The final week of classes in my undergraduate career is over. All that鈥檚 left between me and my degree in biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology is a couple finals and an Honors senior thesis. It doesn鈥檛 feel real. Wed, 10 May 2023 12:00:00 +0000 /undergrad-research/181 /undergrad-research/blog/2023/01/importance-lab-based-courses Throughout my four years at 91制片厂, I have taken at least ten courses that have a lab component, and I have spent countless hours conducting research in Dr. Sarah Walker鈥檚 lab. Although lab courses are quite different than working in a research lab, the skills I learned in class have been critical to my research career thus far. Fri, 27 Jan 2023 12:00:00 +0000 /undergrad-research/179 /undergrad-research/blog/2022/06/how-write-research-grant-proposal I learned a lot about writing a proposal for a research grant when I applied for a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF), and there鈥檚 a lot I wish I knew before I started. Since writing my first proposal a year ago, I have written two more and want to share some do鈥檚 and don鈥檛s that I learned along the way. While my research focus is drug discovery for triple negative breast cancer, these tips can be applied to proposal writing in any field. Wed, 01 Jun 2022 12:00:00 +0000 /undergrad-research/156 /undergrad-research/blog/2022/01/gaining-confidence-through-undergraduate-research Before I participated in undergraduate research, it was difficult for me to fathom it being anything more than just conducting experiments, analyzing data, and gaining technical skills. Yes, these things are important, but you can get so much more out of being an undergraduate researcher. I have learned how to form professional relationships and work in a research team, but most importantly I have gained confidence in myself. My research experience at 91制片厂 began the summer after my sophomore year with a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF), funded by the generous donors of the Hamel Center for Undergraduate Research. I am majoring in biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, and my SURF research, mentored by Dr. Sarah Walker, was on drug repurposing for triple negative breast cancer.
