DEADLINE EXTENDED: Opportunities in Genomics Research
Undergrauate Programs in genomics and related fields
Title: Opportunities in Genomics Research (OGR)
OGR invites bright, innovative, and talented students to participate in our summer (Undergraduate Scholars) or postbaccalaureate (Extensive Study) research programs. The goal of OGR is to increase the number of underrepresented students who pursue PhDs in genomics and related fields. Interested students may apply to:
Undergraduate Scholars Program
Application deadline: FEBRUARY 28, 2017
The program dates are May 31 - August 2, 2017
A 10-week summer program focused on engaging students in research and intensive academic enhancement/graduate school preparation workshops.
Extensive Study Program
Application deadline: MAY 12, 2017
The program dates for 2017/2018 are August 8, 2017 - June 30, 2018
A year-long program designed for recent graduates offering the opportunity for research experience and more mentoring prior to entering a graduate program.
All students participating in the OGR Undergraduate Scholars or Extensive Study programs will be part of a top lab team led by one of many renowned scientists at Washington University School of Medicine. All students will give oral presentations of their research findings at the end of their respective programs.
Benefits include:
- A $4,000 stipend for Undergraduate Scholars
- For Extensive Study, the stipend/salary is comparable to that of a graduate student, (see website for details and contact information if you have questions)
- For summer students, on-campus housing and travel to the program are provided
Both programs are looking for students pursuing a Major/Degree in Science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (with some exceptions, see website for details).
Some majors may be an exception, like Psychology or Behavioral Sciences, but only if the student has 1) taken STEM courses and 2) expressed a desire to work in the biomedical research field

International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM)
An international competition in biology and genetics
Are you interested in participating in an international competition surrounding new innovation in synthetic biology and genetic engineering?
International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) is an international competition for students interested in:
- Synthetic biology
- Biotechnology
- Interdisciplinary collaboration (Yes English and Computer Science majors are welcome!!)
iGEM runs three main programs:
- iGEM Competition - an international competition for students interested in the field of synthetic biology
- Labs Program - a program for academic labs to use the same resources as the competition teams
- Registry of Standard Biological Parts - a growing collection of genetic parts use for building biological devices and systems.
The iGEM team at UMBC has participated in the competition before and traveled to Boston and won the Bronze prize!
For more information:
If you are interested, please contact swath1@umbc.edu and come out to the interest meeting on
FEBRUARY 8th at 6pm in Biological Sciences 461.

Researcher of the Week: Richard Elliott
Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!
He is an American Studies and Political Science major as well as a McNair scholar. His career goal is to become an academic and an editorial writer. Prior to his research, he was more interested in policy than discourse analysis. Now, he would like to eventually write books on different types of discourse within America, particularly of a political nature or relating to African-American issues.
Richard's research will explore the cultural and linguistic approach that was used to analyze the effect that speeches by members of the right-wing Tea Party Caucus have had on conservative political discourse. The rhetoric of these politicians after their ascendance in the 2010 congressional elections was compared to the rhetoric used by John McCain, the Republican nominee in 2008, and Donald Drumpf, the Republican nominee in 2016 and current POTUS. This analysis could explain the mind set of the oval office.
