About this opportunity

The NSF ATP-Bio REU is a 10-week research internship targeting STEM students nationwide, including community college students, who have not participated in prior research. Students will spend their summer doing exciting, cutting-edge research to help 'stop biological time' and radically extend the ability to bank and transport cells, aquatic embryos, tissue, skin, whole organs, microphysiological systems ('organs-on-a-chip'), and even whole organisms through a team approach to build advanced biopreservation technologies.ATP-Bio REU students will work at the University of Minnesota, Massachusetts General Hospital, the University of California-Riverside, or Texas A&M University. Lodging and travel are provided, along with a stipend.Project descriptions for this summer’s program can be found
