Last month, our biomedical science and engineering community came together for our annual meeting and student retreat at Buchanan Alumni House in Orono, ME.
The annual meeting featured fantastic research presentations, discussions, and updates from faculty and students highlighting the exciting discoveries happening across our collaborative program. We also gained valuable insights in regeneration and microscopy from keynote speaker Dr. Prayag Murawala, Assistant Professor at MDI Biological Laboratory.
Our annual retreat brought students together for a day dedicated to connection and team-building. From an engaging alumni panel discussion to friendly competitions, it was the perfect way to celebrate our shared passion for science and community.
Thank you to all our trainees, faculty, staff, and alumni who helped make these events possible! Your enthusiasm and collaboration continue to strengthen both our program and our biomedical research community across Maine.
