Cell & Gene Meeting on the Mesa
In early October, first-year students drive to La Jolla to attend the Scientific Symposium on the third day of the Cell & Gene Meeting on the Mesa, at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. Attending the Scientific Symposium provides the students an opportunity to learn about the latest stem cell research through key note presentations, panel discussions, and poster presentations. The second-year students interning in San Diego/La Jolla, who are a month into their internships at the time of the meeting, host the first-year students- providing a great weekend of science and bonding.
