Summary
This REU Site award to the MDI Biological Laboratory, located in Bar Harbor, ME, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2026–2028. Each summer, undergraduate students will conduct independent, mentored research projects focused on understanding how living things repair and renew themselves after injury and as they age. Students will work alongside experienced scientists using a diverse set of animal models. Comparitive studies using these animals provide students with a uniquely broad perspective on the biology of healing and aging across the animal kingdom
