Harford Community College issued the following announcement on Aug. 25.
Playing a small part in the development of future scientists, HCC welcomed CFD Research Corporation research scientists out of Huntsville, AL and select high school students from across the country this summer to our state-of-the-art labs. The two-week program provides students hands-on experience in scientific research and encouragement to continue their studies in STEM-related disciplines. http://bit.ly/2P5hA3H
Scientists from CFD Research partnered with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) during a two-week educational program in Maryland designed to teach, inspire and involve high school students in the company’s own antibiotic discovery process and transition the initiative into Huntsville-area high schools.
CFD Research and the DTRA will use the student’s research to advance and develop new antibiotics for combatting biological warfare agents and so-called “Super Bugs” that have become resistant to most modern antibiotics.
This program allows students to participate actively in scientific research, providing them with hands on experience conducting research and encouraging them to continue their academic pursuits in a STEM related discipline.
