Biochemistry majors Kyle Murphy ’23 and Gabriela Miranda ’24 were inducted into the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) national honor society while presenting their St. Mary’s Project research at the 2024 ASBMB Annual Meeting on March 23-26 in San Antonio, Texas. Previous inductees from St. Mary's College of Maryland are Ashleigh Bonanno ’21, Christopher Baidoo ’22, Lauryn Ridley ’22, Jacob Wellek ’22 and Melinda Huynh ’23.
Membership in the society is a distinction given to exceptional undergraduate juniors and seniors pursuing degrees in the molecular life sciences at colleges or universities with ASBMB Student Chapters. Associate Professor of Biochemistry Shanen Sherrer witnessed the induction in San Antonio. "It is a joy to see my students being inducted into the ASBMB Honor Society. To qualify for membership, the students had to demonstrate professional characteristics of scholarship, academic leadership and stewardship that promote engaging the community within the biochemistry field - a true alignment of the St. Mary's Way. I cannot wait to hear about their next career adventures after graduation!"
