UK Biochemistry Summer Program

Location: University of Kentucky
Agency: National Science Foundation
Due Date: February 15, 2019
GPA: 3.00
Description: The summer program in the Biochemical Sciences at the University of Kentucky is a ten-week program that involves undergraduates in cutting-edge biochemical research. The goal of the Program is to encourage student participants to pursue careers in the biochemical sciences. A wide variety of projects are offered, including research in structural biology, biophysics, proteomics, protein, and nucleic acid chemistry, membrane biochemistry, and molecular biology. Participants will receive training in basic laboratory techniques and safety and the nuts and bolts of research. Participants will also be exposed to the wide variety of career options available in the biochemical sciences. At the conclusion of the Program, all participants will present their research as a short talk and/or a poster. Outstanding undergraduate students who have little or no opportunity to participate in research in their home institutions and students from groups underrepresented in the biochemical sciences are strongly encouraged to apply. All student participants will receive a stipend and housing, and reasonable travel costs will be covered.
