Ten students from all over the country had a chance to get first-hand experience of scientific research. The program conducted by Sam Huston University – the Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site in Genome Science and Computational Biology, helped students to experience the research.

A grant of $402,562 had been awarded to SHSU by the National Science Foundation, for three years to conduct the program every summer.

“We were very happy that the NSF-REU Site grant was awarded to Sam Houston State because it affirms the strength of our expertise in the field of Genomics, Bioinformatics, and Computational Biology,” said Madhusudan Choudhary, director of the SHSU Center for Enhancing Undergraduate Research Experiences and Creative Activities (EURECA).
