The CMaT REU Program offers undergraduate students the opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research focused on the manufacturing of living cells for therapeutic applications, placing students at any of four partner institutions: Georgia Tech (GT), University of Georgia (UGA), University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez (UPRM), and University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW). The field of cell therapy holds great promise for treating a wide range of diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and autoimmune disorders, but scalable, reliable manufacturing processes are critical to making these therapies accessible to patients.
Eligibility Requirements
- Undergraduate Status: Applicants must be currently enrolled as undergraduate students, typically rising sophomores, juniors, or seniors.
- Interest in Bioengineering and Cell Therapy: Applicants should have a strong interest in bioengineering, biotechnology, or related fields, with a focus on cell manufacturing or cell therapy.
- Academic Achievement: A competitive GPA is required, particularly in relevant coursework such as biology, chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, or biotechnology.
- Application Materials: Applicants are generally required to submit a resume or CV, a personal statement outlining their research interests and career goals, unofficial transcripts, and letters of recommendation from faculty members.
