Outstanding minority undergraduate students explained their research on Aug. 9 in poster presentations at the culmination of the Bridging the Gaps: Bench to Bedside Summer Research Program. Standing in the bright summer sun, Jasmine Piazza, an incoming junior at Delaware State University, presented her research project, “Detection and Analysis of Native Rattusin.” The annual eight-week summer program gives participants exposure to the Keck School of Medicine of USC’s research and clinical programs and encourages them to pursue their graduate studies at the Keck School.
