The UConn Genetic and Mechanistic Metabolism Group (GMMG),<\/a>established in 2021, recently held their first mini symposium. The event brought together UConn faculty members, laboratory trainees, and students from the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources<\/a> (CAHNR), School of Pharmacy<\/a>, and the School of Medicine<\/a> for research presentations.<\/p>\n

In addition to the speakers, a research poster presentation was held with several UConn students from various majors sharing research conducted under the mentorship of faculty. The presentations served to illustrate the work of each involved school and prompt ideas for collaboration.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was exciting to hold our first mini symposium and that we were able to meet together for the first time in-person,\u201d says Ji-Young Lee, professor and head of the Department of Nutritional Sciences and one of the founders of the UConn GMMG.
