Summer Camp 2023 Undergraduate Research in Nanobiotechnology

 MNT-CURN is a collaboration of community colleges and universities funded by NSF, to provide research experience to undergraduate students. The URE summer camp was held at BMEN UNT's Nanomedicine lab in the summer of 2023. This engaging program brought together 13 talented students from across the nation, who enthusiastically delved into various aspects of nanobiotechnology research. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our exceptional graduate students (Yashesh varun Kasani, Forough Ghasem Zadeh Moslabeh, Emily Carney, Trevor Exley, Farzaneh Fouladgar, Robert Powell) and the entire BMEN team for their invaluable support in hosting this camp. Additionally, we express our gratitude to the NSF MNT-EC for sponsoring this enriching activity.
