The Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS) invited high school, community college, and first-year undergraduate students to apply for a unique opportunity at the ePoster Spring Symposium for Emerging Scientists to enhance their scientific skills by sharing their research. This ABRCMS Symposium for Emerging Scientists is a new opportunity for future scientists to join the ABRCMS community and submit abstracts in one of the 12 ABRCMS disciplines. The top presentations from each of the 12 ABRCMS disciplines will present their research live to a virtual audience on April 26, 2022.
