Rutgers University played host to the 8th Tripartite Workshop For Sustainable Technology Innovations on November 14-16, 2014 in New Brunswick, NJ. The Tripartite program builds on a long-term collaboration between undergraduate research scholars, graduate students, and faculty research programs between the University of Sao Paulo (USP), The Ohio State University (OSU) and Rutgers University (RU). This year's conference focused on Biology and Chemistry for Energy, Food Security and Medicine.

From the poster symposium field of sixteen, first and second prizes were awarded to OSU's Tamara McClure (1st place, Undergraduate Student in Ana Alonso's Lab) for her poster on "Relating Soybean (Glycine max) Ecotype and Environment to Seed Biomass Composition" and Dr. Fan Yang (2nd place, Postdoctoral Researcher in Erich Grotewold's Lab) for her poster on "Metabolic engineering of maize phenolics".
