Trainees
Undergraduate Students (2016 - present)
Summer Research Trainees
Our two-stage program trains Fisk undergraduate students in quantitative biology research, first instilling self-confidence through an inclusive orientation and then immersing them in research. Members of the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology (IGB), the High-Performance Biological Computing (HPCBio) and the Center for the Physics of Living Cells (CPLC) at UIUC organize and provide the first stage of training. The second stage of research-intensive training is supervised by the faculty affiliates of the IGB and the CPLC.
