Agnes Scott Graduate Studies

Our graduate students are taking their talents nationally! Faculty and students in our Medical Sciences and Post-Bacc programs attended the Association of Southeastern Biologists (ASB) Annual Conference in Mobile, Alabama.

Ximena Guillen ’18, MS’26 presented her poster on “Antisense Oligonucleotides for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Insights from a Graduate-Level Systematic Review.”

“Presenting my research at the ASB conference was a phenomenal milestone,” she says. “Thanks to my instructor and primary investigator, Dr. (Thalita) Abrahao’s exceptional preparation, I felt confident sharing our findings with the fellow student scientists I met. I thoroughly enjoyed immersing myself in the wide range of oral and poster presentations, which covered fields from ecology to molecular biology.”
