BioFLOW IRES (Summer 2024 in Chile)

The NSF-supported BioFLOW IRES Program provides unique research opportunities to U.S. students in the vibrant fields of biomimicry and bio-inspired flow research for ten weeks in Summer 2024. IRES students will be integrated into existing research communities at the Center for Computational and Integrative Biology (CCIB) at Rutgers University–Camden, before receiving international research training at Adolfo Ibañez University in Santiago, Chile, in Center for applied ecology and sustainability and the Millenium Nucleus for the Development of Super Adaptable Plants

Throughout the program, IRES students will work in close communication with U.S. faculty mentors, Chilean scientists, and other students.
