Robert Tesoriero Presents Research at Annual UMBC Science Symposium

2018 Oct 26

Robert Tesoriero of Ridgewood, N.J., along with 21 other Lebanon Valley College students, presented research at the Undergraduate Research Symposium in the Chemical and Biological Sciences at UMBC in October. Tesoriero, a graduate of Ridgewood High School, is pursuing a bachelor of science in biochemistry and molecular biology at The Valley.

The symposium seeks to display the diverse array of student-committed endeavors and foster the communication of their relevant novel results and concepts. The event exclusively features undergraduate research in all areas of chemistry, biology, and biochemistry with the understanding that progress at the chemical and biological interface requires cross-fertilization from the broadest possible spectrum of these disciplines.

The event features two poster sessions. Posters are judged by panels of participating mentors and other qualified attendees. Judges rank first and second place posters in each category with non-financial awards presented at the event's end.
