Talent Expansion in Quantitative Biology

 

 

STEP (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Talent Expansion Program) seeks to increase the number of students (U.S. citizens or permanent residents) receiving associate or baccalaureate degrees in established or emerging fields within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

The purpose of the ETSU Talent Expansion in Quantitative Biology program is to provide a research-intensive curriculum in quantitative biology for three cohorts of talented undergraduate students who have the potential to develop a successful academic career in the confluence of mathematical, biological and computing sciences. The program includes undergraduate research scholarship (see Program details).

"The lab rotation is very unique too.  I dissected the brain out of a fly pupa and dissected a cockroach.  I have learned about how labs work and feel like I have been exposed to a world I didn't know existed .  I will probably still want to go to medical school after this but now I feel like I will definitely be a more well-rounded physician."
