This program introduces students to exciting new areas of mathematical biology and involves them in collaborative research with their peers and faculty mentors. The program consists of three parts - each with a mix of educational and social experiences:
· Two-week Introduction (June 2-13, 2014): Tutorials, computer labs, and team efforts designed to introduce students to a variety of topics in mathematical biology.
· Eight-week REU Program (June 16-August 8, 2014): An individualized research experience as part of a research team at a participating institution. There are 14 projects to choose from.
· Capstone Conference (August 11-15, 2014): A student centered conference featuring talks and posters by student researchers in math biology, keynotes by prominent math biologists, and a graduate studies recruitment fair.
