Hands-on research in Genomics and Computational Biology

  • Sponsor: National Science Foundation (NSF)

Program Overview

  • The first week involves lab safety training, learning to keep a lab notebook, participating in a sequence of group Genomics labs in the mornings, Computational labs in the afternoons, and Genomics lectures that will correspond with both the Genomics & Computational Biology labs. Group posters from these labs will be prepared by the participants and presented at the ending poster session. The balance of the ten weeks will be spent in individual labs developing an independent research project in partnership with a faculty mentor. Individual posters will be completed, and there will be a poster session at the conclusion of the 10 week program. Work with the individual faculty mentors can continue during the coming academic year and eventually result in a publishable work. Our REU participants have published in Science, Nature, PNAS, and IEEE Access. Weekly seminars are held in career development and bioethics. Participants will be expected to participate in research at least 40 hours per week. Students may not enroll in classes or hold outside employment during the program. All participants are expected to stay for the full 10 weeks.
