IRES: Summer Biology Research Program in Japan
The research focus for this program is Novel Genetic Elements Regulating Behavior of Medaka and Zebrafish.
Posted in: Opportunities
This grant-funded international research program allows students to engage in scientific collaborations at top biology institutes in Japan.
Funded by the National Science Foundation (), this summer program (including nine weeks in Japan) will provide students with invaluable research and intercultural experiences while working with an international team of biologists on CRISPR-Cas9 techniques generating transgenic fish to study genetic elements regulating behavior.
The program is open to Montclair State and non-Montclair State students who are advanced undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in state-of-the-art gene editing molecular biology techniques. See Eligibility section for details. The program consists of nine weeks of full-time research in a Japanese laboratory, mentored by faculty member from the Japanese institutions.
