Welcome to Spring 2019 Seminar!

Students and Faculty,

Welcome back to another semester of BIOL 6988, Seminar in Biological Sciences, at YSU.

Students, please be sure to read through this blog page which contains all the pertinent information you will need.  If you have questions or comments, feel free to contact me via email at crcooper01@ysu.edu.

Faculty,  my hope is that you will attend as many sessions as possible and interact not only with the speakers and grad students, but also those capstone (BIOL 4861) students present.

I look forward to seeing all of you next week at the first seminar of the Spring 2019 semester featuring our own Gary Walker.

Cheers,

Dr. C

Last, But Not Least . . . .

Our final graduate student presentations of the semester feature Kelsey Ford and Floyd Kenney.  

Floyd's presentation is entitled "Biosensor Production By Conjugation Of HSA-Specific Peptide To Functionalized Nanotube Fiber."   He is mentored by Dr. Fagan.

Dr. Caguiat is Kelsey's mentor.  Her talk is entitled "Knockout of the lacZ gene
in Enterobacter sp. YSU".


Please come out and support these folks.  Bring a lunch and share it with Dr. Cooper!
