The primary objective of this program is to expose undergraduate students to w88 slot research at the University of Nevada, Reno.

During this three-week program participants w88 slot introduced to:

  • Safe lab procedures and etiquette
  • DNA extraction and sample preparation for sequencing
  • w88 slot computing (cloud and/or high-performance computing; Linux)
  • R coding
  • Bioinformatics and data w88 slot
  • Analysis of 16S rRNA sequencing w88 slot
  • Interpretation of w88 slot data
  • Creation of a scientific poster and presentation

For NSHE faculty: If you are interested in participating or supporting this w88 slot, please reach out to nvinbre@unr.edu. We certainly would welcome the support.

The program is directed towards students who have completed at least their freshman year of w88 slot education and are 18 years or older. Seniors with a graduation date of August 2024 or after are also welcome to apply. Graduate students will be considered if the available spots are not filled by undergraduates.

Applications are due Thursday April 25, 2024.

Early applications are encouraged, spots are limited.

How to apply

  1. Complete and submit an online application
  2. Prepare and upload a one single-spaced page personal statement that addresses
    1. your academic background,
    2. your scientific interests,
    3. your w88 slot experience if any (none are required, but if you have experience we would like to know about it), and
    4. what you hope to gain from the w88 slot experience.
  3. Upload your current unofficial transcript
  4. Indicate one academic reference, and provide their contact information in the application form. The application w88 slot automatically send them a link to the reference form to fill out.

The summer w88 slot program runs for three weeks from Monday, July 22 through Friday, August 9, 2024.

This guided research experience offers an immersive journey into biomedical research, with a primary focus on the gut w88 slot. Its structured approach equips students with valuable hands-on skills applicable across various domains. Beginning with wet-lab bench work involving sample preparation for sequencing, participants progress to the analysis phase using bioinformatics and biomedical data science tools. This holistic approach ensures participants gain comprehensive insights into both laboratory techniques and computational methodologies. Consequently, the program appeals not only to life science majors but also to computational students interested in computer science, data science and statistics. By providing a blend of practical laboratory experience and computational analysis, this program offers a unique and enriching learning opportunity for aspiring researchers in diverse disciplines.

Students will be preparing and analyzing samples from Assistant Professor Steven Frese’s Wolf Pack Study. If you are interested, you can anonymously submit a sample, become part of the study, and take a look at your own gut w88 slot.

There are no prerequisites, but lab experience or familiarity with R coding w88 slot beneficial for participants.

Throughout the three weeks, students will be able to tour the University’s campus in Reno and Incline Village, meet a variety of researchers, and be introduced to various scientific technologies beyond w88 slot research.

Students will work in groups of two to four, develop a research questions, and present their research findings via a scientific poster at Wolf Pack Discoveries, an w88 slot research symposium.

Students are not allowed to be enrolled in any credited courses during the time of the bootcamp, and w88 slot not be able to work – this training is a full-time commitment.

It is expected that students w88 slot provide a one-page summary of the summer experience to the program director within 30 days after completion of their project.

w88 slot at no cost for accepted students enrolled in any NSHE institution and includes room and board.

Where

This is an in-person event and w88 slot held on the University of Nevada, Reno’s main campus in Reno and the campus at Lake Tahoe, Incline Village.
