(June 6 - August 12, 2016)
<http://mbi.osu.edu/education/summer-undergraduate-program/>http://mbi.osu.edu/education/summer-undergraduate-program/
The goal of this MBI NSF-funded program is to introduce students to
exciting new areas of mathematical biology, and to involve them in
collaborative research with their peers and faculty mentors. The
program consists of three parts - each including a mix of educational
and social experiences:
One-week Introduction at MBI (June 6-10, 2016): A one-week
introduction to the summer research experience with tutorials, lab
tours, and computer labs on mathematical biosciences topics.
REU Program (June 13 - August 5, 2016): An 8 week individualized
research experience as part of a research team at one of the
participating host institutions.
Capstone Conference at MBI (August 8-12, 2016): A student centered
conference featuring talks and posters by students doing research in
mathematical biology, keynotes by prominent mathematical biologists,
a graduate studies recruitment fair, and other special features
including a conference dinner and social
event. <http://mbi.osu.edu/event/?id=1029>http://mbi.osu.edu/event/?id=1029
