This program is designed to introduce undergraduate students to research and applications at the interface of engineering and the life science. In addition to undertaking a research project in an academic lab, students will also receive basic training and experience in communicating their research findings. Students will also be exposed to academic and industry career paths in Bioengineering. Student participants will be part of a cohort of 10-20 other students working on a range of Bioengineering research projects across campus. Students will have the opportunity to interact with a cohort of fellow Princeton and visiting undergraduates interested in Bioengineering (including the Princeton iGEM team), participate in activities including an industry visit, tour of Princeton Innovation Center Biolabs (PICB), training in best practices in scientific communication, and participate in a end of year poster session and reception. Rising sophomores through rising seniors are encouraged to apply. Applications will be accepted via GPS here.
