Five Biosystems Engineering undergrads presented their research at the 2nd Annual SC LIFE Research Colloquium at Claflin University on April 3, 2004. The SC LIFE Undergraduate Research Program funds students conducting research in biology, applied biology and medicine from Benedict College, Claflin University, Clemson University, and Morris College. Our students did a great job on their posters and presentations! For more information on the SC LIFE program, visit http://www.clemson.edu/SCLife/.
