This summer, the Institute for Protein Design hosted 18 undergraduate students from across the world as visiting researchers. For 10 weeks, they experienced life in a modern research environment, learned how to conduct their own experiments, and collaborated with mentors and peers to advance significant research projects.
Training across disciplines
Protein design is an interdisciplinary field that blends ideas from computer science, biology, chemistry, and physics, meaning there’s no typical background for researchers here. This year, our cohort included students majoring in ten different disciplines, each bringing a unique perspective to their summer research.
