This summer Center for Synthetic Biology at Northwestern University and the Baxter Center for Science and Education welcomed 10 middle- and high school teachers for a "short but sweet" 2-week #syntheticbiology research experience. Congrats to all who participated. Your final projects blew us away! https://bit.ly/3MllLYH #researchexperiencesforteachers #STEMteacher #STEM #biologyteacher #chemistryteacher #physicsteacher #scienceteacher #highschoolteacher #middleschoolteacher #research

🎉 Excited to Share My SYNBREU Experience!🎉 I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve just completed an amazing summer at Northwestern University as part of the NSF REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) program! 🌟 During this experience, I had the opportunity to work on an exciting project titled "Engineering Synthetic Epigenetic Regulation to Enable State-Switching Genetic Programs in Mammalian Cells." This research allowed me to expand my research interests and learn more about synthetic biology, focusing on creating dynamic gene regulation systems. This experience has not only deepened my understanding of genetic programming cells but also sharpened my skills in lab techniques and collaborative research. A huge thank you to my mentor, Gauri Bora and my PI Joshua Leonard for their guidance and support throughout this journey. I’m excited to apply these new skills and insights as I move forward in my research career. Looking forward to what’s next! 🚀 #NSFREU #ResearchExperience #UndergraduateResearch #STEM #SyntheticBiology

We're so happy to hear how impactful our Research Experiences for Undergraduates was for Jocelyn Zonnefeld, a senior majoring in data science, mathematics, and statistics, at Dordt University. We wish her the very best as she continues her scientific journey!
Jocelyn Zonnefeld, a senior majoring in data science, mathematics, and statistics, participated in the prestigious Synthetic Biology Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. The REU program gave Zonnefeld an inside look into the skills and drive that are necessary for success in STEM careers. She also says she felt well-prepared to participate in the Synthetic Biology REU experience. Being from a smaller university like Dordt provided her with the one-on-one attention that allowed her to thrive in an REU environment. https://lnkd.in/gd3n2NYa
