SFSU Summer Research Symposium 2025

MEEP Lab undergraduates Kaylee Macomb, David Marczak, Vinusha Bandara, and Faizaan Shaikh presented a research poster at the 2025 SFSU Summer Research Symposium, mentored by graduate student .Richard Baker-Strader.

The group worked on a comparative genomics project investigating the genomic structure of the moss Syntrichia princeps, using synteny analysis to test whether both male and female sex chromosomes are retained in the genome.

The event brought together undergraduate researchers from across the College of Science & Engineering. It was a great chance for the team to share their work, field questions from the audience, and see what other research is happening across campus.

Great job, team!

Congratulations to all four students and to mentor Richard for a great summer project!
