About this opportunity

The Montana State University Extreme Biofilms Research Experience for Undergraduates (EB-REU) is a 10-week summer program designed to engage participants in a research project aimed at discovering new ways to grow, understand, and utilize extremophilic biofilms for human benefit. Our undergraduate scientists will gain a direct appreciation for the unique physical, physiological, and genetic adaptations of biofilm-forming microorganisms found in numerous extreme systems.In addition to helping our students understand how scientists think and solve problems, EB-REU students will participate in innovative technical and professional development activities, helping enhance their leadership, communication, and professional skills. Participants will practice these skills by networking at a local s
