The Department of Biochemistry at Purdue University is now accepting applications for our summer 2021 NSF-sponsored Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. We are particularly interested in students who are planning a career in research but have limited undergraduate research opportunities at their home institution. Students from underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply. You can download a PDF flyer about the program at https://ag.purdue.edu/biochem/Documents/PDF’s/REU_Flyer.pdf.
