The Computer Science Department at the University of Iowa will conduct a 10-week summer research program funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Our site is motivated by the considerable strain on the U.S. healthcare system due to short-term challenges, such as those posed by the COVID-19 outbreak, and long-term trends, such as an aging U.S. population. Computer scientists are in a unique position to help solve these and other problems in health and well-being. Ten participants will join their faculty mentor's research group to work on interdisciplinary projects

This lab focuses on performing mouse behavioral experiments for studying brain function in health and disease. This position offers the opportunity to learn and apply cutting edge systems and circuit-level neuroscience tools to study the neural basis of behavior in a mouse model.

The Iowa Sciences Academy is seeking current sophomores and juniors involved in research to join the UI-MARC program during the academic year of 2025 - 2026. The UI-MARC (Maximizing Access to Research Careers) is an NIH-funded program that supports students committed to pursuing a research-focused PhD or MD/PhD program in the biomedical sciences (not intended for clinical only careers). The fellowship is for June 1, 2025 - May 30, 2026, during a student's junior or senior year.

This program offers undergraduate students the chance to gain a paid, hands-on research experience focused on childhood health and disease

Want to learn about research from undergraduates? You're invited to the Iowa Sciences Academy 2024 Scholar Symposium! This in-person event features short talks by undergraduate students about their research who are currently supported by programs administered by the Iowa Sciences Academy. Come by the Kollros Auditorium on December 7th from 10:00am - 12:00pm to hear from these spectacular students.

Our group is focused on understanding the cellular signaling pathways involved in vascular disease. We conduct both cell biology and animal studies to investigate the role of novel proteins or processes in endothelial cell biology. Students with an interest in cell biology or animal studies are encouraged to apply. Duties and responsibilities: performing cell based studies, genotyping, managing mice colonies, microscopy all these will depend on the experience and interest.

The Office of Undergraduate Research Ambassadors is excited to celebrate the end of the semester with you! Join us for the OUR Ambassador Social featuring a customizable hot chocolate bar, hot apple cider, and sweet treats to warm you up from the cold. See you at our office
