IPD Research Program (King)

The Institute for Protein Design (IPD) research training program introduces UW undergraduates to cutting-edge computational biology research. At the IPD we are creating a new world of proteins to address modern challenges in medicine energy and technology.

• Trainees are expected to dedicate a minimum of 6 hours per week for the duration of the program.
• Trainees are expected to present at least once each quarter.
• This program is not a formal for-credit course but participation in the program may be used as credit for BIOC499 in some cases.
• After completing the program some students may continue at an advanced level helping to mentor new incoming students.

Applicants will have their materials considered for a one-on-one/one-on-two mentorship placement with scientists in the IPD King Lab.

• This experience will take place during the academic year.
• Students will conduct research in partnership with a King Lab researcher.
• Financial stipends will not be available during this period. Participants can still receive academic credit (BIOC 499).

This is a rolling application. All applicants will be reviewed on a quarterly basis and will be contacted the month following the original submission.

• December 6th
• February 28th
• August 20th

To be eligible for the program you must be a currently enrolled UW undergraduate and based on the Seattle campus for the duration of the one-year program.
