Five Students Present at NCUR 2025
We had five students present at the 2025 National Council of Undergraduate Research conference in early April in Pittsburgh, PA. All of them talked about their work on the BPBI project.
- Brooke gave a talk titled “Development of excess extracellular collagen in biceps, subscapularis, and supraspinatus muscles following brachial plexus birth injury”
- Jason also gave a talk, titled “Evaluating Cartilage Degeneration And Glenohumeral Joint Alterations After Brachial Plexus Birth Injury”
- Josh presented a poster on his research: Effects of Brachial Plexus Birth Injury on Muscle Spindle Morphology
- Isabelle also presented a poster: Effects of Brachial Plexus Birth Injury on Bone Resorption in a Rodent Model
- Marisa presented her research: Myokine Expression in Subscapularis, Supraspinatus, and Biceps Muscles following Brachial Plexus Birth Injury
NCUR 2024
Several of our lab’s undergrads were selected to present their research at this year’s National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) Symposium. The event was in sunny southern California, and it looks like they had a great time!
NCUR 2023
In 2023, the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) was held in Wisconsin at UW-Eau Claire. OML usually is well-represented at this event, but this year we practically took over! Brooke, Deeqa, Katie, Kathryn, Amanda, and Steven all represented OML and NC State this year. They had talks and posters and pretty much knocked it out of the park. We’re so proud!
2021 SNCURS Event
We had three students participate in the 2021 SNCURS (State of North Carolina Undergraduate Research Symposium) Event.
You can check out their talks/posters on the website, at least for now (we have no idea how long things will stay available, so we’ve included the link within the symposium and also a direct link to the YouTube video):
- Deeqa talked about her research using the Individual Trabecular Segmentation (ITS) software to analyze trabecular bone-like microstructures: YouTube video
- Kathryn spoke about her work developing a mechanism to study bone-vascular interactions: YouTube video
- Jennifer spoke about her research into the effects of BPBI on gait and grip strength: [no YouTube video, but poster is below]
Josh and Carly present their work at Symposium
Josh and Carly recently presented their work at the State of North Carolina Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium (SNCURS, for short). The symposium is open to all undergraduate students enrolled in North Carolina colleges, universities and community colleges. The symposium is intended to showcase multidisciplinary undergraduate research scholarship. More info and photos can be found here: https://projects.ncsu.edu/sncurcs/
Hannah, Sophie and Maggie to present posters at the National Conference on Undergrad Research
Congratulations to Hannah, Sophie, and Maggie! Their abstracts have been accepted for poster presentations at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research, which will be at the University of Central Oklahoma in April. Great job, guys!
OML Represents at NCUR 2017
Four of our undergrads had abstracts accepted AND received travel awards to present at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) at the University of Memphis in April!! Congrats, Elizabeth, Harsha, Michael, and Sophie!
