7th Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium In Molecular And Cell Biology
Monday, April 19th, 2021
01:30 PM - 04:30 PM
Storrs Campus online
The MCB Undergraduate Research Symposium is an opportunity to showcase the research accomplishments of the department’s undergraduate students. Graduating senior MCB or Biophysics majors are encouraged to present their research project, virtually, as a short talk (15 minutes, 12 for presentation, 3 for questions) at the symposium. Graduating Biology majors whose project is supervised by an MCB faculty member are also invited to present their work. The three best presentations will be invited to participate in the All Biology Symposium on Monday 26th April.

Dawn Carone completed her Ph.D. in Genetics and Genomics at UConn in 2009 in Dr. Rachel O’Neill’s lab. She then conducted her postdoctoral studies at UMass Medical School in the lab of Dr. Jeanne Lawrence. Dawn is now an Assistant Professor in the Biology Department at Swarthmore College, where she teaches Genetics and runs an NIH-funded, active research lab with undergraduates. Since her time at UConn, Dawn’s research has been focused on uncovering roles for genomic repeat sequences, with an emphasis on pericentric satellite repeats. Her lab is currently studying the misregulation of HSATII expression, a tandemly repetitive pericentric satellite sequence, in human cancer cells.
