HBS St. John's Visit

HBS St. John's Visit

On Tuesday, April 8th, Ms. Lamarque, Mr. Santiago & his HBS Biomed students visited St. John’s University again to perform additional experiments at the St. Vincent Health Sciences Center.

They participated in a Virtual Reality Lab using St. John's new VR Suite to identify anatomy and learn how remote technology can be used in patient care. Next, they visited the FLEX lab to analyze a toxicology DUI case. They tested the suspects' simulated urine samples for evidence of alcohol, methamphetamines, narcotics, etc. They also received a tour of the medicinal chemistry lab, where some Loughlin students will soon be assisting with research through their Summer Research Program.  This experience expanded their understanding of how advanced technology can be utilized to effectively solve cases and treat patients.
