UNCO Biological Sciences

Check out our final seminar for this academic year!

Biology graduate students presented their research at the annual Student Research Showcase last week. Well done!

Seminar this week!

Several of our students attended the TriBeta conference in Socorro NM, hosted by New Mexico Tech. Our student presenters did a fabulous job, and three of them won awards in their categories! These three will have their expenses paid to attend the national tribeta conference held in Florida next month.
Kira Villareal (Han lab)—best research talk
Ella Boyd (Burns lab)—best biomed poster
Katie Byrne (James lab)—best organismal poster

Seminar is today!

Please join us in welcoming computer scientist, Sagi Zisman. Sagi is currently at the Colorado School of Mines where he studies integrating Machine Learning (ML) and Large Language Models (LLM). He is going to give us all a crash course in what's under the hood of LLMs (like ChatGPT). He's also going to talk about how we can integrate these tools into Biological Research.

We hope you had a great spring break! Check out our seminar this week.
