CCIB-REU Students Cap a Successful Program with a Dynamic Research Poster Fair

Posted in Student News.

Beginning in June, ten students embarked on a ten-week program which allowed them to engage in in-depth research that “combined experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches with a focus on the intersection of the mathematical, computational, and biological sciences.” The students, who were from Rutgers-Camden as well as Burlington and Camden County Colleges, were selected after a competitive application process, and received a $5,000.00 stipend in addition to room and board on the Rutgers-Camden campus. This program was made possible by a grant from the National Science Foundation.
