As part of Science 2009, more than 75 undergraduates displayed research on topics
that ranged from traumatic brain injuries to energy solutions, from type 2 diabetes
to regional water quality. The Undergraduate Poster Reception was held on
October 15, in Alumni Hall’s Connolly ballroom.
A sampling of faculty-mentored undergraduate projects included:
- Pursuing a solution to climate change by investigating CO2 storage
- Aiming to improve clinical trials by understanding patient experience
- Identifying a primary cause of preterm labor to combat neonatal mortality
- Seeking new tuberculosis medications to treat drug-resistance strains of the disease
- Investigating how to protect the habitats of native plant and animal species
- Striving to improve care of breast cancer patients by examining quality of life
