The MDI Biological Laboratory Summer Student Symposium showcases summer student fellow’s research. The symposium is designed to bring student researchers across our various laboratories together to present their research through interactive presentations and posters. This is an excellent opportunity for the MDI Biological Laboratory community to view our students/mentor collaborations. MDI Biological Laboratory extends an invitation and encourages friends and family members to register and attend. Space is limited and registration is required.
