Vagelos Undergraduate Research Fellowship
The Roy and Diana Vagelos Division of Biology
& Biomedical Sciences (DBBS) at Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL)
is excited to introduce the Vagelos Undergraduate Research Fellowship.
Overview
This new
program is a unique opportunity for Washington University undergraduate students to gain hands-on,
graduate-level research experience in biology and biomedical sciences, working under School of Medicine faculty supervision. Admitted
students (“Fellows”) will first complete a spring course covering research skills and other relevant topics, including latest research and career lessons from School of Medicine faculty. After successful
course completion, Fellows will conduct lab research under the guidance of a
faculty mentor over the summer. Upon completion of the program, Fellows may
attend exclusive career development workshops and/or serve as peer mentors to
future cohorts.
