Above, toasting their success, from left, Reihaneh Shankaie, Fatima Panju, Maisam Halabi, Derek Wilson, Jason Gregor, Mark Sever, Luba Bryushkova and Mihiret Kedida. (Dana Aljawhary聽is taking the picture.)

Gregor, who is supervised by 91亚色 chemistry Professor and Canada Research Chair , placed first in the biological/medical category for his talk, 鈥淚nvestigating the Binding of Vancomycin Resistance Associated Regulator Protein with mutated DNA using Atomic Force Microscopy鈥�.

Panju placed third in the same division for her presentation 鈥淔unctional Analysis of a Chromatin Remodeling Protein in Tetrahymena thermophila鈥�. Panju was supervised by 91亚色 biology Professor .

Gregor and Panju, both in fourth year,聽based their presentations on their fourth-year chemistry research projects. Accompanying them to SOUSCC on 91亚色's eight-member team were Dana Aljawhary (supervised by Prof. ), Luba Bryushkova (supervised by Prof. ), 聽Maisam Halabi (supervised by Prof. ), Mihiret Kedida (supervised by Prof. ), Mark Sever (supervised by Prof. Sylvie Morin) and 聽Reihaneh Shankaie (supervised by Prof. ).

Hosted this year by the University of Waterloo, the conference attracted 117 participants from Ontario universities.聽The conference provides undergraduate students with an opportunity to present their undergraduate research projects and network with other chemistry students. Nest year's conference will be held at the University of Guelph.
