The Cellular, Molecular and Developmental Biology Developmental biology

A large field of investigation that includes the study of all changes associated with an organism as it progresses through the life cycle. The life cycles of all multicellular organisms exhibit many similarities.

) Division held its annual divisional meeting in Biloxi at the sixty-sixth annual meeting of the Mississippi Academy of Sciences. The meeting began with a special session entitled "Structure Visualization in Biochemical Education: Seeing is Believing Seeing is believing is an idiom first recorded in this form in 1639 that means "only physical or concrete evidence is convincing".[1]

Seeing is Believing may refer to:
  • Seeing is Believing: Code Lyoko anime episode
." This special session, which was cosponsored by the Science Education Division, featured a presentation by Dr. Robert C. Bateman (University of Southern Mississippi) on the use of molecular modeling software in undergraduate biochemistry education. The remainder of the CMDB divisional meeting consisted of four platform presentation sessions and a poster session. The themes of the four sessions were "Molecular Insights from Biophysical Techniques" (four presentations), "The Evolution of Biological Catalysis catalysis

Modification (usually acceleration) of a chemical reaction rate by addition of a catalyst, which combines with the reactants but is ultimately regenerated so that its amount remains unchanged and the chemical equilibrium of the conditions of the reaction is not
" (four presentations), "Molecular Toxicology" (five presentations) and "Cytokine Cytokine

Any of a group of soluble proteins that are released by a cell to send messages which are delivered to the same cell (autocrine), an adjacent cell (paracrine), or a distant cell (endocrine).
 Signaling" (four presentations). Despite the cancellation of one poster presentation, our poster session actually had more p osters (fifteen) than indicated by the published abstracts. Perhaps this phenomenon was due to the irresistible lure of the poster party, which included door prizes ranging from cheese straws to coffee mugs; the chair notes that further research is needed to determine the cause of this interesting phenomenon.

The outstanding quality of the platform and poster presentations made it extremely difficult for the judges to select a single winner in the two sponsored categories. The Outstanding Graduate Student Presentation award was won by Ms Tricia M. Coleman (University of Southern Mississippi); this award was accompanied by a fifty dollar prize provided by Fisher Scientific (courtesy of Ms Susie Emfinger). The Outstanding Undergraduate Student Presentation award was won by Ms. Kendria Holt (Jackson State University Jackson State University, often abridged as Jackson State or by its initials JSU is a historically black university located in Jackson, Mississippi founded in 1877. ); this award was accompanied a fifty dollar prize provided by C Squared Corporation (courtesy of Mr. Greg Quillan). In addition, the judges unanimously decided to award Ms Karishma A. Parekh, a high school student mentored by Dr. Hongtao Yu (Jackson State University), with a Certificate of Honorable Mention for her exceptional research presentation.

Dr. Ross E. Whitwam (Mississippi University for Women     [ ) was elected as the CMDB Division Chairperson. Dr. Yuan Luo (University of Southern Mississippi) was elected as the CMDB Division Vice-Chairperson.
