DOANE — Nebraska Institutional Development Award Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence program welcomed a new cohort of undergraduate students from across Nebraska in May which included Lilith Umberger, Randolph, currently a student at Doane University.
In late May, the NE-INBRE program welcomed a new cohort of undergraduate students from across Nebraska as they embark on their summer research experience.
Following orientation at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, the NE-INBRE scholars spend 10 weeks conducting research with a faculty mentor. Most remain at UNMC, while others conduct research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Creighton University before returning to their home campuses this fall to continue their laboratory work.
The NE-INBRE program is overseen by Paul Sorgen, PhD, a professor in the UNMC Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and principal investigator of the annual $2.75 million National Institutes of Health grant that supports the program.
“We’re excited to welcome a new cohort of NE-INBRE scholars this year to UNMC and the INBRE program,” Dr. Sorgen said. “You never know where or when the next breakthrough will come from to help human health, and INBRE opens doors for students across 11 different undergraduate institutions to engage in research and science that makes a difference.”
