Description:
This 10-week summer REEU in Crop-to-Food Innovation will allow students to integrate fundamental science discovery with its translation to understand the steps from crop trait inception to commercialization of new food products based on those novel traits. Student research projects will involve collaborations across two or more of the components of our Crop-to-Food Innovation Pipeline, which will allow students to gain a broader perspective on their research projects and appreciate the steps from product inception to prototype development to application evaluation.

As part of the training, the students will begin their research training by completing a 1.5-week Biotechnology Training Camp (BTC) which will provide students with an overview of fundamental laboratory skills and knowledge including basic molecular biology methods, routine microbiology, and biochemistry applications. Our program will also provide complimentary professional development and leadership skills training that focuses on science communication, outreach, and entrepreneurship.
