About
The Biochemistry and Biophysical Research and Technologies Symposium is a great opportunity for graduate students and researchers of all departments to showcase their research. This symposium will be for all researchers doing any kind of biochemistry , biophysics, or biological research or technology development. This is a unique event for Texas A&M which will encourage research from all across campus to be put on display instead of focusing on one specific college or department. This symposium will feature a poster session and two oral presentation sessions. The first oral session will feature junior graduate students, giving them the rare opportunity to give a research talk early in their careers, while the second oral session will feature full research stories by senior graduate students. Finally, the event will close with a keynote.

1st Annual Symposium
The 1st Annual Biochemistry and Biophysics Research and Technologies Symposium was held on March 29th, 2019 in the ILSB Atrium. This event brought together researches from many different departments on campus including: Biochemistry and Biophysics, Biology, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and the Texas A&M Health Science Center. This event was a great opportunity to learn about the research going on in different departments as well as networking with like-minded researchers on campus.
Keynote
The key note this year was given by Dr. Alex Zabula from ExxonMobil. He will gave his talk titled:
Organic Materials for Superior Electron Acquisition and Corrosion Prevention
