Courtney McClure is one of the awesome students that participated in the UGA College of Engineering’s 2015 Nanotechnology and Biomedical Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program this summer. A junior biology major at Delaware State University, Courtney worked with scientists in the UGA Regenerative Biosciences Center on research that may lead to new treatments for stroke and traumatic brain injuries using neural stem cells.

The REU program will provide an interdisciplinary research experience at the interface of micro-/nano-technology and biomedicine to undergraduate students from other institutions, leveraging the diverse interdisciplinary expertise, resources, and training opportunities in this area at University of Georgia (UGA).

Students will participate in interdisciplinary research projects that apply micro-/nano-technology to specific biomedical questions. Each REU student will be co-mentored by paired faculty from the nanotechnology and biomedical disciplines on a collaborative research project. In addition to a total-immersion, hands-on research experience, students will participate in enriching activities that will include ethics-in-science workshop; weekly career development seminars; research seminars; educational field trips; participation in conferences in nanotechnology and biomedicine.
