NSF REU Site in Cellular Bioengineering: From Biomaterials to Stem Cells
Rutgers is the home to a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site on Cellular Bioengineering — From Biomaterials to Stem Cells. This program is supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, including a new 3-year award to continue the program through summer 2023. The REU was established as a pipeline activity of an IGERT training program in the Integrated Science and Engineering of Stem Cells under which it ran from 2003-2009. The REU program serves a diverse population of students to whom cutting-edge research experiences are not typically available and thus broadens the pipeline to graduate school for a wide range of students. The current program is led by Professors David Shreiber (PI) and Maribel Vazquez (co-PI) and has operated as an REU since 2010, successfully providing research opportunities and professional development to eleven cohorts totaling 106 students. With an intellectual focus in Cellular Bioengineering, this program provides research opportunities that articulate with a range of cutting-edge, multidisciplinary areas, including stem cell engineering, systems and computational biology, cell-active biomaterials, and micro/nanoscale biosystems. The research experience is complemented by weekly exercises aimed at professional development. Currently, the program has a strong emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurship, and shepherds the students through the process of creating a business plan centered around the research projects. A new emphasis on engineering to address health disparities will be introduced in the next 3-year cycle.
