Overview

Research Experience for Undergraduates. While the focus of the NanoBio REU is to conduct a 10-week research project in a lab, that is of course not all you get to do during the summer…

“The INBT REU got me into the inner workings of how research works, how to judge the validity of a research paper, how to work in a lab, how to manage your time—to see if this is something I want to do with my life. I learned how to learn.” Colbert Sesanker, REU 2008—Worcester Polytechnic Institute

“It was a lot more work than I thought it would be, but this is Johns Hopkins, so you should be working hard! I also enjoyed being with everyone who came from a different part of the country and from a different school.” Deonnae Lopez, REU 2008—Rutgers University
