ACPHS Microbiology and Molecular Biosciences Program

Best of luck on finals everyone! We know you will do great. Don’t stress and make sure to take breaks in between!

This Friday, several ACPHS students will be presenting at the Capital Region STEM Poster Showcase. If you are able to go, or are interested in the research being done in the capital region, please see the attached image for details of the event!

We are happy to have our second Accepted Students Day on April 18th! We cannot wait to meet even more new faces and we hope you can learn more about us so that ACPHS can become your new home! Please reach out for any inquiries and register for the event!

Hi all! If you are interested in a CO-OP position with Regeneron, there is a virtual session happening tomorrow on zoom. Please scan the QR code in the post to register!

It's finally time for the ENYSCASM symposium! Any student can present their research and win potential awards! This annual event is hosted at our Life Sciences Building where CBET is located. Join us April 10th and register using the QR code to attend. Any student presenters must provide an abstract by March 27th. There will also be keynote speaker Dr. Peter Lipke from Brooklyn College attending to give an interesting talk about his research. If there are any questions, feel free to reach out!

It's almost that time of the year for our annual ACPHS Student Research Symposium which will be happening in the gym this year on April 16th. Any student is welcome to attend and present their research findings or just support their fellow students sharing their posters. If you are interested please send your abstract by March 30th and contact Dr. LaRocca (as pictured on the bottom right) if you have any questions! We look forward to seeing you there so save that date! If you are interested in directly hearing about research from faculty, the Faculty symposium is the day immediately after on the 17th!

Welcome back, everyone! We hope you had a great break and are refreshed to start anew. We are pleased to start the year strong with some impressive streaks from our Biology Lab students, demonstrating how microbes can grow in various environments. Wishing you all a great semester, stay (gram) positive!

Happy Holidays everyone! You all worked extremely hard this semester. Hope you are able to spend time with loved ones and recharge for the new year!

Wishing you all a great thanksgiving break! Safe travels for anyone going home and for everyone staying near, we will see you around! Stay warm!

Meet Abimael, a 5th year student in the MS Molecular Biosciences Program! He has been involved in research with Dr. O'Donnell for the last two years and is currently studying Pseudomonas aeruginosa from a current patient's isolate where he is investigating resistance development. On campus he is involved in AMSA as the Community Outreach Chair and it the SGA's Transfer At Large. In addition to his main lab work, he is also involved at CBET as a lab assistant and does volunteer work outside of school. He is currently interested in Medical School or the Biopharmaceutical Industry as potential career choices as he is graduating this year. If you see him, feel free to say hi!
