UIUC Groups & Associations

The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Student Chapter at UIUC aims to promote advancement of research, education, and science outreach in biochemistry and molecular biology for students and faculties on campus. 


Bioscience Journal Club is an open, welcoming place for undergraduate students to review scientific research papers. Members will collaboratively interpret papers from a variety of biological fields while practicing presentation, reasoning, and critical thinking skills. The club hopes to bring together academically driven students interested in staying up to date on new technologies and discoveries. Members will have the opportunity to choose the club's topics and papers. We also plan on providing opportunities for students to network with peers and faculty.
