The symposium is an inter-college event where students openly discuss the topics explored within each college’s respective theme.
Every RC student will give either a Presentation or a Poster - either as a group or as an individual project. Every RC student will also be an audience member.
At Registration, you will receive a name tag with your schedule on it. The Symposium is organized into two, concurrent, sessions: Session I: 1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. & Session II: 3:10 p.m. - 4:40 p.m.
Stem cells contain numerous valuable properties and characteristics applicable to regenerative medicine. However, embryonic stem cells are riddled with ethical issues, and adult stem cells are fickle and difficult to research. The process of creating induced pluripotent stem cells reverts somatic cells into an embryonic-like-stem-cell. Induced pluripotent stem cells have potential applications in bioengineering organs, cell replacement therapies, cancer research, and drug screenings.
