IBS-SRP CMB Summer Research Program

Each summer, the CMB Program participates in the Integrated Biological Sciences-Summer Research Program (IBS-SRP) here at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  Cellular & Molecular Biology (CMB) is a subgroup within the larger IBS-SRP Program.  Undergraduate students apply from all across the country and spend 10 weeks in the summer doing research in a laboratory environment.
