    <div class="html-content"><h1>HST Summer Institute</h1>                   
    <div>
    	
    The Summer Institute at the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and
    Technology offers a unique opportunity for outstanding undergraduate college students considering a career in biomedical engineering and medical science. This highly competitive program offers a hands-on research experience in a scientific community internationally recognized for its leadership and commitment to excellence. Participants are supported by cutting-edge research facilities and expert mentors. </div>
    <div>
    	 </div>
    <div>
    	Sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science
     Foundation, participating institutions include Harvard-MIT Division of 
    Health Sciences and Technology (HST), <a href="http://www.mgh.harvard.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH)</a>, <a href="http://www.i2b2.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">i2b2 National Center for Biocomputing</a>,and others. The Institute is part of an effort at MIT to help facilitate the involvement of talented students in engineering and science research--in particular, underrepresented minority students, first-generation college students, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds.</div>
    <div>
    	 </div>
    <div>
    	Participants become part of HST's accelerating effort to alleviate 
    human suffering and disease through applied learning in a variety of 
    biomedical research areas. There are two areas of study:</div>
    <div>
    	 </div>
    <div>
    	<a href="http://hst.mit.edu/academics/summer-institute/bioinformatics" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>Bioinformatics and Integrative Genomics</strong></a>,
     or the use of computer science techniques, such as electronic databases
     and three-dimensional modeling, to gather and analyze life sciences 
    data; particularly information from genomics.</div>
    <div>
    	 </div>
    <div>
    	<a href="http://hst.mit.edu/academics/summer-institute/biomedical-optics" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>Biomedical Optics</strong></a>, or the use of lasers and light to develop new applications and modes of treatment in the areas of medicine and biology.</div>
    <div>
    	 </div>
    <div>
    	Students in both programs receive a stipend for the summer.</div></div>

    <Title>Summer Research Opportunities in Systems Biology</Title>
    <Tagline>Virginia Bioinformatics Institute</Tagline>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content">Are you a student majoring in a mathematical or computational science, 
          interested in biomathematics? Are you thinking about graduate school in this field?<br><br>
          
          This great summer opportunity is for you! Be a part of this exciting state-of-the-art research experience.<br><br>
          	  
          <strong>What is modeling and simulation of biological networks?</strong><br><br>
          
          Molecular biology has undergone a dramatic revolution during the second 
          half of the twentieth century, beginning with the discovery of the 
          structure of DNA. Since then a series of technological advances has 
          given experimentalists the ability to make ever-more detailed 
          measurements of an increasing number of molecular components of the 
          cell. DNA microarrays, for instance, are small silicon chips spotted 
          with short segments of DNA that can be used to measure the activity 
          levels of thousands of different genes in tissue samples simultaneously.<br><br>
          <img src="http://biomath.vbi.vt.edu/images/vert_seats.jpg" alt="2008 Lecture" height="250" width="200" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;">
          Soon it might be possible to make large-scale quantitative measurements 
          in a single cell. Being able to take such global snapshots of molecular 
          processes has opened up the possibility of studying the changes that are
           constantly going on in cells as a coherent dynamical system with 
          intricately interacting parts, rather than studying the parts in 
          isolation. Similar developments in other fields of biology have 
          revolutionized the availability of system wide data. Thus, the new field
           of systems biology has emerged. It makes heavy use of mathematical 
          tools for modeling and simulation.</div>

    <br><span>Eligibility: Students must be current sophomores
    through non-graduating seniors and must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents. A minimum GPA of 3.2 is required.</span><br><br>
    <span>Competitive applicants will have completed sophomore-level courses in desired research field, have demonstrated through academic and/or co-curricular activities a passion for research, and can articulate how their research interests align with Caltech's research areas. The most competitive applicants will have prior research experience.</span><br><br><span>Support: MURF students will receive a $6000 award for the ten-week program. An additional $500 housing and travel supplement will be provided.</span><br><br>
