REU Site: Research Experiences for Undergraduates in the Basic Sciences, Genomics, and Neuroscience
About the program
Welcome to our site! The REU program began in 2014 to provide undergraduate students of diverse backgrounds who are interested in a career in biological sciences a 10-week research experience. Students are provided with one-on-one training by LSUHSC faculty in designing and conducting experiments, as well as presenting their results. In addition to research, interns participate in professional development seminars and interactive workshops on topics such as resume writing for graduate school applications and responsible conduct in research. Accepted students are matched with mentors in the LSUHSC's Departments of Basic Sciences for research projects in the following fields:
- Bioinformatics
- Biochemistry
- Cell Biology
- Epidemiology
- Genetics
- Microbiology, Immunology, & Parasitology
- Molecular Biology
- Neuroscience
- Pharmacology
- Physiology
At the end of the program, students will present their research in the form of a poster at LSUHSC Research Day. These posters will be judged by local scientists. This program is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
