Dr. Rebecca Page, assistant professor Department of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry, Brown University, has an intimate understanding for what will take place on Saturday morning, January 20, 2007 at the UBRP Conference. As a UBRP student, she presented her work at the 1993 UBRP Poster Conference. Rebecca was a UBRper in Dr. Linda Restifo's lab, Neurobiology and Dr. George Atkinson's lab, Chemistry and Optical Science. She now mentors undergraduates at Brown University and does research using x-ray crystallography to understand the molecular basis of protein function. Her particular interests are in understanding how scaffolding/targeting proteins regulate neuronal signaling and phosphatases regulate T-cell proliferation.

The UBRP Poster Conference provides an opportunity for undergraduate students, high school students, and even some elementary school students to present their experimental results to an audience that includes faculty, staff, students' families, potential employers, friends, and members of the general public. Anyone interested in learning more about the research taking place on campus is welcome to attend. The conference starts at 9 am on the second and third floors of Life Sciences South and it will conclude by 1 pm. We hope to see you all there!
