On April 27th, 2006 the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering held its second annual ResearchFest, run by ChEBES, the Chemical Engineering and BioEngineering Society for graduate students; and sponsored by the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, and the Graduate Program in Bioengineering.
The annual event highlights the best graduate-level research and allows students to share their work with faculty, staff and students from their and other departments.

Chemical & biomolecular engineering and bioengineering graduate student participants at ResearchFest 2006. |
Professor Nam Sun Wang, the ChEBES advisor, invited two outside faculty members to judge the event: Professor Catherine Fenselau and Assistant Professor Doug English, both from Chemistry & Biochemistry. Fenselau and English were able to provide objective feedback while learning about student research in a related field.
Gift certificates to Starbuck's, Cold Stone Creamery, and Chipotle were awarded as prizes to the top three presentations:
First Place: Diana Yoon, "Effects of Hydrogel Water Content on Chondrocyte Signaling." See Yoon's e-poster version »
Second Place: Bhaskar Dutta, "High-Throughput Time-Series Transcriptional Profiling Analysis of a Biological System Subjected to Multiple Perturbations: A Case Study in Systems Biology." See Dutta's e-poster version »
Third Place: Rohan Fernandes, "Magnetic Nanofactories: rogrammable Synthesis and Delivery of a Molecule-of-interest at Target Cell Surfaces." See Fernandes' e-poster version »
