The fair was held earlier this month in the Sorrell Center’s Truhlsen Events Center. Both Koll and Siebler attended to investigate summer research programs at UNMC.

More than 80 people attended the fair including first-year students from UNMC and undergraduates from schools such as the University of Nebraska at Omaha, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Dana College and Peru State College.

The attendees visited to take a look at some of the research being done by College of Medicine scientists.

More than 50 posters describing UNMC research filled the events center during the fair, which was sponsored by the UNMC College of Medicine and Office of Research and Development.
