The Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS) is a
national conference designed to encourage students to pursue advanced training
in the biomedical sciences or behavioral sciences, including mathematics and
provide faculty mentors and advisors with resources for facilitating student
success.

Formerly known as the MARC/MBRS Symposium, the Annual Biomedical Research
Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS) is sponsored by The National Institute
of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), Division of Minority Opportunities in
Research Program (MORE) and managed by the American Society for Microbiology (ASM).
During this four-day conference, there are scientific sessions, professional
development workshops, poster sessions, exhibits and many networking
opportunities.
If you were one of our Interns and have made a presentation about your
research or have won an award, we want to hear about it and celebrate with
you! Please contact us.
