Program Overview
Are you a junior or senior undergraduate student interested in biomedical engineering and/or bioinformatics? Maybe you are thinking about graduate school in these areas?
This great summer opportunity is for you!
Be a part of this exciting state-of-the-art research experience. Bioengineering and Bioinformatics Summer Institute (BBSI) is a collaborative effort between the Virginia Tech Ð Wake Forest University School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences (SBES) and the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI). Our intellectual focus Ð integrated and quantitative bioengineering Ð is a common thread throughout both biomedical engineering and bioinformatics.
We emphasize three major thrusts:
- Computational Systems Biology
- Computational Bio-imaging
- Computational Physiology
The objectives for BBSI are to 1) provide targeted students with quantitative and integrated bioengineering/ bioinformatics related educational and research experiences to complement the students' existing single discipline programs, and 2) motivate and enable these students to pursue graduate degrees and careers in biomedical engineering and bioinformatics related fields.
Program Dates are from May 25 to August 1, 2008
