Students from Dr. Chandrakanth Emani's genetics class have achieved a spot at the upcoming Posters at the Capitol

  • Thursday, November 13th, 2014

Congratulations to WKU Owensboro biology students from Dr. Chandra Emani’s Genetics class: Bethany Oakes, Aaron Hall, Joshua Castlen and Jennifer Campbell.

They presented their research at the "Conference For Student Research” held at Western Kentucky Community College in Paducah. Out of 19 groups that participated, they were voted as one of the Top 5 to be invited to the State Capitol in February to participate in the event known as "Posters at the Capitol", where research from all colleges and universities are displayed for the state legislature.

At Frankfort, they will be interacting with Kentucky lawmakers and discuss research topics and the potential impact of their results. Also, this group of students will be continuing their research on using basil plant to treat polycystic kidney disease in a collaborative research project with Dr. Chandra Emani (WKU Owensboro) and Dr. Timothy Dick (OCTC).
