Connie Luk, an undergraduate student with the Thompson Laboratory for Regenerative Orthopaedics, won the e-poster award in the Engineering, Physics and Mathematics section at the 2021 Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS).

Luk, who is a biomedical engineering senior at Mizzou, submitted a research poster titled, “Relationships among Articular Cartilage Biomechanical Properties and Metabolic and Histomorphometric Characteristics of Bone from Osteoarthritic Knees”. Her poster was among 29 selected for the award. 

The ABRCMS, recipient of the 2019 AIMBE Excellence in STEM Education Award, is one of the largest communities of underrepresented minorities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Students attend this conference to present their research, enhance professional development skills, explore graduate schools, and network. Research faculty and program directors play an essential role in mentoring students and learning strategies for facilitating student success.

Congratulations!
