Summer Internship Program

Microbial genomics based virtual summer internship program - established in collaboration with Dr. Gisela Storz and Dr. Matthias Machner in 2021.

In 2023 this was adapted into V-SOAR (Virtual Summer Opportunities to Advance Research): https://www.training.nih.gov/vsoar_home_page

A 9-week summer internship that includes lectures, journal clubs, career presentations, science communication and science ethics workshops, and an independent research project. Interns use online interactive genome browsers and sequencing data to identify novel genes across a range of bacteria including: B. burgdorferi, E. coli, L. pneumophila, K. pneumoniae, and P. aeruginosa.
