Name: The Summer Institute in Bioinformatics and Integrative Genomics
Date Posted: Thu, November 11, 2010
The Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST) is sponsoring its 2011 Summer Institute with one track in Bioinformatics and Integrative Genomics (BIG) and one in Biomedical Optics. We would like to invite undergraduate students to visit our website at http://web.mit.edu/hstsummer. Please note the application deadline for both tracks is January 31, 2011. The Summer Institute in Bioinformatics and Integrative Genomics offers an intensive internship that includes classes, research projects and training in technical communication. Classes with clinical researchers meet twice a week; the mentored research projects, carried out under the supervision of investigators at Harvard Medical School, the Harvard teaching hospitals and MIT, may, and often do, result in refereed publications.

Name: The MGH Summer Institute in Biomedical Optics
Date Posted: Thu, November 11, 2010
The MGH Summer Institute in Biomedical Optics is run by the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). During the summer, students attend a graduate level class, work on a specific project in a lab, and receive additional training in technical communications and responsible conduct of research. The mentors in this program are academically demanding; they are looking for students with strong math and physics backgrounds as well as biology. Contact this program by email to BioOpticsSummerInstitute@partners.org.
We are looking for a combination of academic excellence and diversity in our summer students. The lab descriptions on the website state more specific requirements for Biomedical Optics. In the Bioinformatics program, students will be matched with a lab based on their stated interests and dialogue with the program director.
The application deadline is January 31st 2011, please see the website for further details: http://web.mit.edu/hstsummer

Name: Nebraska Summer Research Program.
Date Posted:
Nebraska's summer program offers research opportunities in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields. A complete listing of faculty mentors and research project descriptions can be found on our website at http://www.unl.edu/summerprogram/. Students can also find information about program benefits including a competitive stipend, room and board, travel expenses and more.
Summer 2011 programs include:
* Applied Mathematics
* Bioenergy Systems
* Biomedical Engineering
* Chemistry
* Nanomaterials and Nanoscience
* Optics and Laser Physics
* Redox Biology and Biochemistry
* Virology
During the Nebraska Summer Research Program, students receive first-hand exposure to research and the experiences of graduate school. They work closely with faculty mentors and research teams of graduate students and other summer scholars. Students also have opportunities to participate in meaningful social and professional development activities outside of the laboratory.
Our online application makes it easy for students to apply. Priority review begins Monday, February 15 and all applications are due Monday, March 1. Students historically underrepresented in graduate education and students from academic institutions where research programs are limited are especially encouraged to apply.

Name: 2011 Bioengineering Education Research REU
Date Posted:
The Bioengineering Education Research REU program is a rich summer experience for undergraduates from diverse backgrounds that will increase student knowledge of both biomedical engineering and educational theory and pedagogical design. The Bioengineering Education Research Site REU is a brand-new program with a long history.
The objectives of the BER REU are:
1. To expose students to quantitative and qualitative aspects of research in engineering education, and expose them to research methods generally
2. To have each student work with a mentor to perform a project that contributes to the development of curricular materials for bioengineering using learning science principles, and understand how to evaluate materials and practices for their impact on student learning
3. To have each student contribute to real ongoing research projects where undergraduates can be valuable team members

Name: 2011 Summer Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) at Virginia Tech
Date Posted:
The organizational principle of VBI is team science. The academic disciplines come together as needed for a particular research project, rather than dissecting the project into disciplinary components. Collaboration between computational and experimental faculty is particularly encouraged. Space arrangements reflect the needs of projects. Since its beginning in 2000, VBI researchers have mentored many undergraduate students in a broad range of research projects. The program participants will be assigned space within the research groups and will be exposed to the daily operations of a large research enterprise.
Please see the following link for more details:

Name: IIT Summer REU Program
Date Posted:
The Biomedical Engineering Department at IIT provides the foundation for this summer program in
collaboration with the ECDRE. The primary goal of this program is for students to complete a diabetes
related research project working with an engineering mentor from IIT. Students will be paired with
faculty at IIT based on the interests of the student and
the faculty’s expertise. Diabetes is a complex disease
that can lead to a number of health complications. The
projects offered in this program reflect this diversity,
with topics in biomaterials for islet cell encapsulation,
software models of glucose metabolism, medical
imaging techniques for prognosis/diagnosis of disease,
tissue regeneration strategies for the treatment of ulcers
and ischemic limbs, vascular changes in diabetic
retinopathy, cell physiology, and many other topics.
You can find out more about previous research
performed and the application process at
