\"INBRE<\/a>For the second year in a row, a Southern Arkansas University physics student has taken the title at the competitive Arkansas IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) Research Conference held Nov. 7-8 in Fayetteville.<\/p>\n

Joshua Grant earned first place honors in Physics Poster for his work titled, \u201cGrowth and Initial Characterization of Ge1-xSnx Films.\u201d Grant is a senior engineering\/physics major from Camden.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe conference this year had a record number of presenters; considering how many they competed against, this is in fact a great honor for us,\u201d said Dr. Abdel Bachri, chair of the Department of Engineering and Engineering Physics at SAU.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the 2013 INBRE Research Conference, SAU senior Barbara Rutter also took the title in the Physics Poster competition. In 2012, SAU\u2019s Kahli Remy was chosen to provide an oral presentation on her physics research.<\/p>\n

Also earning an honorable mention at this year\u2019s conference was Lauren Morehead, a senior pre-health student from Pine Bluff. Her poster in the Biological Sciences category was titled, \u201cGene discovery for bioactive phenylpropanoids in Echinacea species.\u201d<\/p>\n

SAU\u2019s College of Science and Engineering showed a record enrollment Fall 2014, due in part because of the SAU\u2019s new engineering major. The program is the only one of its kind in all of south Arkansas. With strong industry support, which translates into internship and job opportunities for SAU students and graduates, it has become a popular choice for prospective engineering students.

The Arkansas INBRE Research Conference involves participation from colleges and universities in Arkansas and surrounding states in biological sciences, physics and chemistry and biochemistry. Arkansas INBRE is funded by a grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Program of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The IDeA program was established for the purpose of broadening the geographic distribution of NIH funding for biomedical and behavioral research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
