On May 18, 10 students began their summer research journey through Freed-Hardeman's Biochemical and Biomedical Sciences Summer Research Program. 🧬🔬

Now in its fifth year, the program provides students with the opportunity to engage in meaningful scientific research alongside faculty mentors while exploring questions that span biochemistry, genetics, bioinformatics and more.

Under the direction of Dr. Joe Deweese, these students are spending their summer developing skills, deepening their knowledge and preparing for future careers in medicine, research, technology and service.

Students, thank you for your dedication and curiosity you bring to your work, and we look forward to seeing all you accomplish!
