Four students will be conducting biomaterials-related research this summer
康科德,N.H. (2022年6月23日) – Five Community College of New Hampshire (CCSNH) students have been selected for the NH BioMade (Undergraduate Research 培训 (URT) program. Four have accepted and will spend the summer conducting biomaterials-related research.
“These are particularly powerful experiences for recent CCSNH graduates, boosting their scientific skills and knowledge in the summer just prior to transfer,”医生说。. Leslie Barber, GBCC professor of biological science and CCSNH faculty fellow. “By choosing a research experience at the institution they plan to attend, students can also build connections with faculty and other students. 一次又一次, we have seen how these prior connections ease the transfer experience and contribute to later student success. But whether transferring or returning to CCSNH to complete their degree, all of our participants benefit from the boost of confidence and insight that comes from this experience with professional scientific research.”
The specific projects in which CCSNH URT students will be participating are:
尼克•将 from Rochester and a current student in the Chemistry program at GBCC, 会和徐元赫合作吗, assistant professor of biotechnology at UNH Manchester on the “Peptide Hydrogels for 3D Printing of Human STEM Cells” project.
梅森雅克, from Rochester and a recent graduate of GBCC with an associate degree in Engineering Science, 会和凯蒂·希克森一起工作吗, assistant professor of engineering at Dartmouth College on the “Assessing the Feasibility of Integrating 3-D Printing and Polymer Scaffolds” project. Jacques is transferring to UNH in the fall to study Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences (CEPS).
4周, from Portsmouth and a graduate of GBCC with an associate degree in Biology, 和Nate Oldenhuis合作, assistant professor of chemistry at UNH on the “Development of pDNA-Based Molecules” project. Weeks will be transferring to the Bioengineering program at UNH CEPS this fall.
格温多林Tupman, from Pembroke and a recent graduate of MCC with an associate degree in Life Sciences, 会和李林清一起工作吗, assistant professor of chemical engineering at UNH on the “Developing a Vascularized 3D Tumor Model to Screen Drugs for Cancer Treatment” project. Tupman will be transferring to UNH Manchester in the fall, to study Biotechnology.
除了URT项目, 转学CCSNH学生有资格申请$10,000 in scholarship funding ($5000/year for up to two years) to complete a baccalaureate degree in a major that relates directly to the research objectives of NH BioMade.
NH BioMade is funded through the National Science Foundation’s E生根 P程序, Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR). In previous years many of the CCSNH URT students have gone on to be awarded transfer scholarships to continue their education.
