Full Participation in Research

The major student research training effort takes place at designated laboratories. RISE fellows are trained in laboratory techniques, data collection and analysis, as well as in literature searches. RISE students give an oral presentation at the annual FIU MBRS Mini-Symposium. RISE fellows are involved in all phases of the research process.

departmental Seminar Series

Scientific seminars increase the RISE students' exposure to biomedical research. These seminars include the departmental series in Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Biochemistry, etc. as well as the seminars sponsored, for example, by the MBRS Program, FIU Biomedical Engineering Program, and the FIU Comparative Immunology Group.
