Abstract and Poster Presentations

Overview

The COBRE Meeting 2026, assisted by the AAPS-NDSU Student Chapter 2026, is a research-focused scientific meeting organized by the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at North Dakota State University (NDSU). The symposium aims to promote high-quality research communication, interdisciplinary collaboration, and translational scientific innovation within the pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences.

The symposium welcomes basic, translational, preclinical, clinical, computational, and pharmaceutical sciences-oriented research relevant to therapeutic development, drug delivery, disease mechanisms, diagnostics, biotechnology, biomaterials, and related biomedical applications.

All accepted submissions will be presented as posters.
