The HUI SRC event was designed to ignite a passion for research among young undergraduate students.
On September 29, 2023, the HPU Undergraduate Infrastructure Student Research Center (HUI SRC) marked a significant milestone by launching the inaugural event of the 2023-2024 academic year titled “The Inspiration Series.” This event, designed to ignite a passion for research among young undergraduate students, featured Dr. Lei Wang as the distinguished speaker, addressing the topic of "Arc: The Neuronal Protein Responsible for Long-Term Memory."
Wang’s talk left HPU students inspired and motivated to explore the depths of scientific research.
The Inspiration Series, a thoughtfully crafted variation of the renowned TED Talks, is a testament to HUI SRC's unwavering commitment to enriching the academic journey of undergraduate students, particularly those interested in the fields of health and biomedical sciences. The goal is clear: inspire, provide opportunities, and create a pathway for these students to immerse themselves in research and ultimately pursue higher education and careers in the sciences.
The highlight of the event was Wang's captivating presentation. His expertise in neuroscience illuminated the audience on the critical role of the Arc protein in the formation of long-term memories. Wang’s engaging talk left attendees inspired and motivated to explore the depths of scientific research.
The event's success was further enhanced by the generous support of The Sigma Group, LLC, and its non-profit branch, the Sigma Initiative. Attendees not only enjoyed Wang's presentation, but were also treated to delightful refreshments, sponsored by these esteemed organizations. This collaboration exemplifies the power of partnerships in fostering educational and research excellence.
