Recruit Your Future Graduate Students...
Become a Graduate Program Exhibitor!

Each year, the ASBMB hosts an Undergraduate Poster Competition as part of its annual meeting.   This year marks the event's 15th anniversary.  

Join us for a great opportunity to connect with a captive audience of undergraduate students, many of them are beginning their search for a graduate program.  

Last year, 180 undergraduates, along with their faculty advisors attended this exciting and highly anticipated annual event.  This year we've received over 300 undergraduate research abstracts.  

Posters are judged by a panel of Undergraduate Faculty volunteers and cash prizes for research achievement are awarded on Sunday. 

Registration for Graduate Program Sponsors is now closed (dated 6:00 PM, Eastern, Feb 28).  

Inquiries may be directed to Weiyi Zhao: wzhao@ASBMB.org.
