Department of Biology

It’s a wrap! 🎉 The Department of Biology extends its sincere gratitude to all participants, organizers, and personnel whose efforts contributed to the success of the 31st Summer Institute in the Natural Sciences and Mathematics (SINSM), held on April 16–18, 2026, at the University of the Philippines Baguio.

We especially celebrate the 33 participants who joined us in exploring new concepts and techniques in microbial and fungal DNA isolation, PCR amplification, gel electrophoresis, and basic bioinformatics. Your enthusiasm and engagement made this year’s SINSM both insightful and productive.

The photos below capture some of the highlights of this enriching experience.

We look forward to welcoming you again in next year’s SINSM!
