The Fischell Department of Bioengineering at UMD will be hosting an NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program, starting this summer! Information about the program, available projects, and link to the application can be found here. If you are an undergraduate student seeking a summer research opportunity, please check this out, or if you know someone looking for one, please pass it along.

We thank the National Science Foundation for supporting this program! Dr. Ian White is PI on the grant, and Dr. Stroka is co-PI.

Undergraduate researcher Thea Ornstein (BIOE '19) has been selected to receive the ASPIRE fellowship for the spring 2018 semester for her proposal on investigating how physical confinement alters nuclear deformation in cells. Congrats, Thea!
