Course and Program Highlights
Students engaging in research through BMB 488 have two support networks: scientists at different career stages in the research laboratory, and a peer group of other students who participate in the seminar portion of the class together.
The Pennsylvania State University was selected by the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation as 1 of 12 institutions to receive a 2019 Beckman Scholars Program Award.
Undergraduate Highlights
Four Eberly College of Science students selected for the prestigious Goldwater Scholarship. All four students perform undergraduate research in BMB faculty labs and three are pursuing a degree from the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Department.
Their poster was titled: The Penn State protein ladders: an inexpensive source of protein molecular weight markers appropriate for both Coomassie staining and Western blotting.
If you are an undergraduate student within the department and have received an award or achievement let us know. We would like to feature your accomplishment on the website on our social media channels.
