Title: Training and Experimentation in Computational Biology (TECBio): "Simulation and Visualization of Biological Systems at Multiple Scales"
Students will start their research immediately at the beginning of the TECBio program. Within the first two weeks, students will also attend lectures and participate in computer laboratory sessions that will give them exposure to and practical experience in a comprehensive and interdisciplinary breadth of topics. The final week will be devoted to student presentations. Weekly seminars and journal clubs will also be hosted.
The major focus of the TECBio REU @ Pitt is to train, prepare, and support the next generation of scientists, who will be among the leaders in the interdisciplinary fields of computational and systems biology and other emerging STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields, by offering a fun and challenging graduate-level research and training experience.
The program runs from May 22 - July 28, 2017
The deadline to apply is FEBRUARY 13
