Two Wartburg College students conducting research as part of the 2022 University of Iowa Summer Research Opportunity Program will present their findings on Wednesday, July 27.

Hidaly Hernandez, a senior majoring in neuroscience and Spanish, and Roberto Munoz, a junior in biochemistry, will share their work at the UI Summer Undergraduate Research Conference between 1 and 5 p.m., in the Iowa Memorial Union Main Lounge.

The students were paired with University of Iowa faculty mentors to conduct cancer research as part of the program.

“As a pre-med student at Wartburg, I saw this as a great opportunity I had to take,” Munoz said.

“I will have a variety of new lab techniques and learn to work new lab equipment that I will surely be using in my future career,” Hernandez said.

In addition to the research stipend, the students also received a stipend from Wartburg’s undergraduate research program.
