HHMI

ABSTRACT

This Institute hosts the nationwide HHMI-funded summer undergraduate internship in bionanotechnology for engineering and the physical sciences. The goal of this program is to expose students to modern biology.

This summer undergraduate program features:

- An intensive biology lecture and laboratory course teaching
cell culture, basic molecular biology, and protein biochemistry
- Cutting-edge research in bionanotechnology
- Special seminars and career development workshops
- Competitive stipends and travel support
- On-campus housing

Immersion of students in a cross-discipline is considered the most effective means to facilitate interdisciplinary research. Students who participate in this program should overcome the communication barriers in interdisciplinary collaborations, as they will be highly conversant in the biological sciences.
