2000 Symposium

The Second Annual AMB Symposium

The 2001 Applied Molecular Biology Open House and Symposium, held on March 2, 2001, was a great success. This year we had over 50 interested students attending. We also had a group of the class of 2000 students who returned to lend their support to the current AMB class and to find out what has happened to their classmates in the ensuing year.

At the symposium in addition to a short introduction from the Graduate Program Director, Philip Farabaugh, short talks were given by two graduates of the AMB program, Tom Burkett, who now teaches in the Biotechnology program at the Community College of Baltimore County, Catonsville Campus, and from Kevin Griffith, currently a Ph.D. degree candidate in our Molecular and Cell Biology program.

Each of the AMB projects were presented in poster format giving the prospective students an opportunity to see what impressive progress has been made by the current class even though they are only about half-way through the program.

Pictures of the proceedings were taken by the Department photographer, Tim Ford.
