NOTE: This program is not accepting new applications at this time.

Texas A&M University's REU site on Imaging and Biomarkers is a summer research program that provides opportunities for undergraduate students to learn about the use of imaging techniques to characterize biomarkers and biomaterials for potential use in medical applications.

Our objectives are to help participants to understand the research process, to acquire laboratory skills, and to be well-positioned for graduate school and career success. Activities will include joining a research group led by a faculty mentor, completion of a eight-week research project, and participation in weekly faculty seminars, field trips, and career development workshops. At the end of the program, participants will make a formal poster presentation of their research experience and submit a written final report describing the results of their research.
