On Saturday, December 5th, five second-year students in the MA in Biomedicine program presented and defended their thesis projects.  These students have been diligently working on their thesis projects since the Summer of 2015.   Throughout the presentations, the students provided the audience with an introduction/background information, methods&materials, data analysis&results, conclusions, limitations, and potential future studies.  Below are the names and titles of the presentations:
