Student Research Week 2022

34th Annual Student Research Week

Theme - CSI: Immunology

This year’s theme is CSI: Immunology (CSI: Conducting Scientific Research). CSI: Immunology encompasses not just all research aspects of immunology, but also includes all scientific research that may influence human health.

This year will be conducted in a hybrid fashion, with in-person open poster sessions, a vendor fair, and oral presentations and with all virtual poster judging sessions. Both the judging and open poster sessions allow students from different biological research areas to present their research projects, discuss their results, and disseminate their findings and ideas. Students from the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS), Medical school, Nursing school, Public Health, Pharmaceutical sciences, Texas Tech University campus, Amarillo campus, and other colleges show great interest by participating in these poster sessions.

Student Research Week also provides research seminars presented by distinguished biomedical students, and is an opportunity to recruit regional students into GSBS degree programs.

GSBS students organize, plan, and coordinate the entire event, and determine the overall seminar series theme. While the event has a biomedical theme, the posters are open to all biological research areas. The judging criteria are set to evaluate a hypothesis, the methods used to research that hypothesis, and the presenter’s ability to clearly present those original ideas.
