Program Description
The Systems Biology Center New York (SBCNY) Undergraduate Research Program offers summer research fellowships to City University of New York (CUNY) undergraduates who are planning to pursue PhD or MD/PhD degree programs after graduation and who are interested in incorporating systems biology approaches into the research that they pursue.

The SBCNY Summer Undergraduate Research Program at Mount Sinai School of Medicine is a full-time 10-week research-intensive computational systems biology training program within laboratories of the Center. The fellowship provides a $4000 stipend for the research training period from June 4, 2012 to August 10, 2012. Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis based on academic achievement, research motivation and compatibility of long-term goals with interests of SBCNY.

Independent Research Projects
All SBCNY Fellows conduct an individual research project under the mentorship of a SBCNY Investigator. Our website contains a list of past SBCNY Fellows and descriptions of their research projects (grouped by year).

Research Seminar Series
The independent research projects are complemented by the weekly SBCNY Summer Seminar Series which brings the Fellows together and facilitates interactions with SBCNY Investigators, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students.

SBCNY Poster Session
At the conclusion of the program, each Fellow will present a poster summarizing their research project at the SBCNY Summer Research Program Poster Session.
