Undergraduate Quantitative Biology (UQ-bio) Summer School, 2023
Dates: May 31 – June 14, 2023
Location: Colorado State University
Applications are now open APPLY HERE.
The Undergraduate Quantitative Biology (UQ-bio) Summer School is an annual event intended to help undergraduate and first year graduate students acquire essential skills to advance predictive modeling of cellular regulatory systems. Participants will be exposed to a survey of work in quantitative biology and provided with in-depth instruction in selected techniques. The emphasis of the 2023 program will be image and video based experimental and computational techniques useful to understand stochastic dynamics of biological processes.
The main focus of the program is to get students working together with mentors on small projects. All participants will have access to pre-recorded technical lecture videos (approximately 6hrs per week) and will attend daily live events (Monday through Saturday) including research seminars from top scientists in the field (3hrs/week), mentored problem sessions (4hrs/week), project-specific software tutorial sessions (4hrs/week), career discussion forums (2hrs/week), student presentation sessions (2hrs/week), laboratory tours and demonstrations, and more. The summer school is designed for undergraduate students and early-stage graduate students, or anyone with a quantitative background who is new to modeling cellular regulatory systems/networks.
