Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology: Arkansas Undergraduate Summer Research Symposium

Registration

We welcome your interest in the symposium.  Registration is free. ALL attendees including student presenters, non-presenters, mentors, administrators, and judges MUST register by completing this registration form. More than one student with the same mentor can present their research as long as projects are independent of one another.  Nevertheless, registration does not guarantee an opportunity to present your research, because space is limited. There will be 12 oral presentations and 100 poster presentations. Despite this limitation, we have been able to accommodate all applicants in the past and do not anticipate any issues. 

Registration Opens: June 17, 2025

Registration Deadline:  July 8, 2025
