The Research Foundations in Genetics and Genomics Program provides early-stage undergraduate researchers with an opportunity to gain hands-on training carrying out a novel research project under the mentorship of UChicago research labs. In addition, students gain foundational skills in analyzing and presenting primary scientific literature, communicating with peers and the scientific community and attending weekly research seminars with scientific leaders from around the world, all in small group settings meant to maximize interaction between participants and researchers.

This fellowship supports undergraduate summer research outside mainstream model systems research. Organismal diversity provides a rich and largely untapped resource to study biological mechanisms from gene regulation and development to biophysics and biomechanics to behavior and neural networks. However, most laboratory research remains focused on a small number of conventional experimental systems. The goal of this fellowship is to encourage budding scientists to take advantage of these new opportunities. Students will work in lab at the University of Chicago campus or at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) at Woods Hole on the Atlantic coast and will present their research at an undergraduate research symposium at MBL.

BSCD Quantitative Biology fellowship combines research using computational methods into a range of biological problems with a collaborative environment for learning new skills and concepts.

Quantitative Biology Fellowship Application

The emergence of Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and recently large language models (e.g.: generative AI) in healthcare has been groundbreaking, reshaping the way we diagnose, treat, and monitor patients. AI is drastically improving healthcare research and outcomes by producing more accurate diagnoses and enabling more personalized treatments. The primary objective of this program is to educate a cohort of undergraduate students in the Biological and Physical Science Divisions, offering them both training and an immersive and interdisciplinary research experience in AI and ML with a specific application in biological and health sciences.
