The University of Minnesota is looking for exceptional undergraduate students to complete an 11-week intensive research experience designed to provide immersive research training for students interested in a career in academic research/medicine. Each student will conduct a small, independent research project focused on a scientific question using computational biology. Over the course of the summer, students will attend weekly presentations and meetings. Students will be expected to discuss their research results informally in laboratory and group meetings. A student’s work will be directly supervised by a faculty member or a designated post-doctoral associate working in the laboratory. At the end of the summer, students will present their research to faculty from the Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, the Division of Pediatric Epidemiology and Clinical Research, the Division of Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplantation & Cellular Therapy, and other selected guests. Students will work up to 40 hours per week; schedules and hours will be arranged with the assigned faculty mentor (or delegate). This is not a clinical shadowing opportunity.
