Life Sciences Research Night (LSRN) is the flagship annual event of Undergraduate Research Opportunities, a fully student-run club at UBC aimed at lowering the barrier of entry into research for undergraduate students. LSRN is a evening of collaboration between researchers, academics, and industry professionals to mentor keen undergraduate students in the life sciences about the research opportunities available to them. Each year, we collaborate with BC Children’s Hospital, the Centre for Blood Research, UBC Faculty of Science and more to hold a series of workshops explaining life science opportunities in one unforgettable night!
