Meet the 2009 UBMTP Students

The UBMTP will :

• Train students to understand biological phenomena using quantitative tools.
• Teach students how to pose and answer questions that arise at the interface of math and biology.
• Allow students to work in a biology lab on specific research problems.
• Introduce students to the concepts of mathematical modeling of biological phenomena.
• Provide students with ample opportunities to travel to national and regional conferences to present their work.
• Best of all, provide a generous stipend during both the summer and academic year to carry out cutting edge research.

You must be a Biology or Mathematics major (or a double major in one of these two fields) to participate in the UBMTP.
