Undergraduate research training opportunities
We welcome experienced and inexperienced undergraduate students to
join our lab to receive training in computer modeling of
biomolecules. More advanced trainee will direclty participate in real
research projects. Financial support during learning/training (!) is
possible through multiple mechanisms.
