ICM’s First Computational Medicine Night was a Hit

04/16/2015

The Institute for Computational Medicine successfully hosted its very first Computational Medicine Night on March 24th. Thirty-five posters wrapped the third floor of Hackerman Hall, as nearly eighty attendees waited enthusiastically for the night to begin. Dr. Raimond Winslow, the Director of the Institute for Computational Medicine, kicked things off with a warm welcoming speech. The night was then divided into three parts – undergraduate presentations, meet and eat, and panel discussion.

Ten ICM undergraduates presented their current lab research. With coconut chicken skewers in hand, guests then toured ICM labs, viewed posters, and mingled with members of the ICM community. The night concluded with a panel discussion led by Assistant Professor Feilim Mac Gabhann.

This open house-like event served as the perfect opportunity for JHU undergrads to enhance their understanding of ICM and the Computational Medicine minor that ICM anticipates will be available in the fall.
