BEDD

On Thursday, July 14, 2016, Mahtab Waseem and Tariq Johnson (both rising Junior Chemical Engineering students) represented BEDD summer research in the poster session competition of the Washington Baltimore Hampton Roads-Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (WBHR-LSAMP). Mahtab won first place for her “Analysis of Biofilm Inducing Compounds with Potential PTS-Modulating Abilities”, and Tariq introduced

Twelve students from Phelps Architecture, Construction and Engineering High School and Turner Elementary School in Washington, DC, visited Howard University for the Week of July 11, 2016, to participate in a BEDD-sponsored project under the supervision of Simone Stanley (rising Senior Chemical Engineering student).

Congratulations are in order for Abiye Mekonnen who has successfully defended his Masters dissertation on Wednesday, April 20, 2016. Previously, Abiye had earned a bachelor degree in Biomedical Engineering from the Virginia Commonwealth University. He has now earned a Masters of Science degree

In Spring 2016, Howard University Research Week celebrated the breadth of research being conducted across the University. On April 14, research from the Biofilm Engineering and Drug Discovery (BEDD) Group was featured in different Biological and Biomedical Sciences program sessions

Mahtab Waseem presented her work at the 2016 Emerging Researchs National (ERN) Conference  in Washington, DC, on February 26.  Her presentation was titled “A Chemical Screen for Chemical Compound Modulators of the Vibrio cholerae Phosphotransferase System“. It featured

Research from the Biofilm Engineering and Drug Discovery (BEDD) group was featured at the 2015 Annual Student Conference (November 6-9) and the 2015 AIChE Annual Meeting (November 8-13) in Salt Lake City, UT.

Abiye and Wardell participated in the HBCU Innovation Student Showcase @WHI on National HBCU Week.
