Summer Research Program 2008-School of Life Sciences

We are pleased to inform you that more than 25 fellowships will be awarded to undergraduate students for the Summer Research Program 2008-School of Life Sciences at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland.  
Students in their second or third year of studies in the life sciences, including related engineering fields are invited to apply. The deadline for submitting applications is March 1st, 2008.

Expanding from its initial foundations in neuroscience and biotechnology, EPFL's School of Life Sciences has now matured into four distinct institutes -

• the Brain Mind Institute,
• the Biotechnology Institute,
•  the Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research
• the Global Health Institute. 

 In all areas we emphasize integrated approaches spanning a range of disciplines from functional genomics to high-tech bioengineering.
