Hello MiRcore members! Our big microgrant fundraiser is underway! If you’re planning to see a movie with friends or gifting tickets, please purchase them through the campaign page to support the research of Dr. Riddhi Chanderraj. His research focuses the effects of anti-anaerobic agents in antibiotics and aims to improve current treatments. Check out the link in our bio for more! Supporting research is especially important during times when misinformation and distrust of science is rampant, and every dollar is appreciated. Happy fundraising, and remember to practice science, compassion, and collaboration!
Here is an introduction of our MiRcore Officers for 2025-2026! We are so excited to serve you all and look forward to an amazing year!
REMINDER: Committee meetings are going to be during the main meeting time tomorrow! Be ready for bonding games and student teaching. You will be working with your groups from last week, let’s have another amazing meeting filled with science, compassion, and collaboration!

Hi everyone! The Southern California Committee are raising money for the 2025 miRcore microgrant. Our overall goal is to raise $10K to support the research of Dr. Lisa Sharkey, Ph.D at the University of Michigan, who is currently conducting groundbreaking research on the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. This is a great opportunity to host a club/community social, or just hang out with friends/family at the movies. Have fun while also supporting the continuity of groundbreaking research! More details about the fundraiser here: https://www.mircore.org/fundraiser/
