Southeast Regional Node Meeting

Join us for the upcoming Southeast GEP Regional Node Meeting, where undergraduate students will have the opportunity to present their genomics research to a larger academic audience. This event will highlight student-led research projects, showcasing the hard work and dedication of our next generation of scientists. Our guest speaker for the event is Logan Cohen, a first-year PhD student at The University of Alabama and Director of the newly formed GEP Advanced Research Lab. Logan will share insights into students’ critical role in furthering this field. Logan’s presentation will also cover opportunities for student involvement in advanced research projects and the tools used in the GEP lab. The event promises to be a fantastic platform for students to gain experience in presenting scientific work and to engage with peers, faculty, and experts in genomics. Whether you’re an undergraduate researcher, faculty member, or a genomics enthusiast, this meeting will be a valuable opportunity to exchange knowledge and celebrate student achievements.
