National Genomics Research Initiative

Science Education Alliance program offers exciting opportunity for first-year students

Calvin College has been selected by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) to be one of 24 schools nationwide to participate in a new science education initiative. In this program, 20-24 first year Calvin students will make real scientific discoveries by doing research on bacterial viruses, called phage, during a two-semester introductory biology sequence led by biology professors Randall DeJong and John Wertz. Students will learn techniques from across biology, including microbiology, molecular biology, genomics, ecology, and bioinformatics.
