Each summer, 20 undergraduates from around the United States participate in research fellowship opportunities at MDI Biological Laboratory. Undergraduate students work in the laboratory of an MDI Biological Laboratory investigator on an independent project designed by the student and their mentor.

In addition to pursuing their independent research projects, students attend weekly seminars given by MDI Biological Laboratory scientists and invited speakers from other institutions, partic
