2007 CEPCEB REU Student DANIEL LIN University of California, Berkeley, CA |
The Institute for Integrative Genome Biology is committed to providing rewarding research experiences to undergraduate students. As an NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site, the Center for Plant Cell Biology brings research experiences to students of two- and four-year colleges who have limited opportunity to learn about the excitement and career options that research in plant cell biology offers.
Eight to twelve students are accepted into the ten-week summer residential program. The program begins with a one-week workshop, in which students are introduced to techniques and approaches used for analysis of plant and plant fungal pathogen cell function, including basic molecular biology, genomic and bioinformatic analyses, and confocal microscopy methods used to study live cells.
