ASBMB WPI Student Chapter

WPI's ASBMB Student Chapter was incredibly thrilled to welcome Dr. Arne Gericke, distinguished John C. Metzger Professor and Department Head of WPI Chemistry & Biochemistry, this afternoon for a faculty seminar. Our organization and other members from the CBC department were honored to have him present his research, and we are looking forward to working with him again!

The ASBMB student chapter was honored to host its second event of A-term yesterday! We were so excited to have representatives from the Broad Institute talk about the recruitment process and about their experiences in industry. Also, student representation at the event was phenomenal, and it was especially great to see a variety of majors including biochemistry, bioinformatics/biotechnology, and computer science. Special thanks to Sara Kosmaczewski, a WPI alum and postdoc at the Broad Institute, for discussing her journey from graduation to finding her career.
