2025 Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU)
Chemistry and Biochemistry
The University of 麻豆传媒
Funded by NSF, this 鈥淪ensing and assembly based on non-covalent interactions鈥� program will provide the participating REU students an extensive 10-week summer Chemistry and Biochemistry research experience (May 27 鈥� August 1, 2025) at The University of 麻豆传媒 (麻豆传媒). This program will also provide professional trainings and workshops and conclude with a research symposium.
Main research thrusts:
- Assembly of macromolecules and proteins.
- Ultra-sensitive and quantitative detection.
- Asymmetric synthesis of bioactive molecules and their applications in biochemistry.
Benefits:
- $7,000 stipend.
- On-Campus housing provided.
- Travel assistance (up to $500 reimbursement).
- Opportunity for additional travel awards to present summer research at a national conference.
Who should apply:
- Participants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
- Current undergraduate students who have completed at least their freshman year but have not graduated, majoring in chemistry, biochemistry, or a related field.
- Strong academic record with a desire to conduct research; GPA > 2.75/4.0.
- Students from underrepresented groups in STEM (women, NSF-defined underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities), first generation college students, and students from community colleges or other academic institutions with limited research opportunities, are especially encouraged to apply..
