Graduate students at The University of Texas at Dallas recently presented their research at the PhD Student Poster Competition and Art Showcase, an annual event that highlights research and provides students with the opportunity to share their scholarly work with the campus community. Six winners were determined from the nearly 500 votes cast, and cash prizes of $600, $400 and $200 were given to the first-, second- and third-place winners of the both poster competition and the art showcase. Second place went to Waris Khuwaja, a molecular and cell biology doctoral student, for research on the bladder immune mechanisms against uropathogenic E. coli infections. This year also featured an inaugural art showcase, which was added to include more students from different disciplines. Gabriella Putri attended last year’s poster competition to learn more about her fellow students’ research interests.
