<div style="font-size:13px; font-family:arial,sans-serif">I am writing you, because the Department of Molecular & Integrative Physiology at the University of Michigan offers summer fellowship programs to support undergraduate students that are interested in
research in physiology and/or biomedical sciences. Any student who is currently enrolled at any degree granting University or College is invited to apply, with preference given to those students interested in a career in research.<br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:13px; font-family:arial,sans-serif"> </div>
<div style="font-size:13px; font-family:arial,sans-serif">In general:</div>
<div style="font-size:13px; font-family:arial,sans-serif"> </div>
<div style="font-size:13px; font-family:arial,sans-serif">1) Biological science students will join our traditional Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF): <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/surfumichedu/" target="_blank">https://sites.google.com/site/surfumichedu/</a></div>
<div style="font-size:13px; font-family:arial,sans-serif">2) Students from quantitative science majors (e.g. engineering, math, computer science) will join our Short Term Educational Program (STEP) towards Digestive and Metabolic Physiology: <a href="http://sitemaker.umich.edu/physiology.interface/short_term_educational_program" target="_blank">http://sitemaker.umich.edu/physiology.interface/short_term_educational_program</a></div>
<div style="font-size:13px; font-family:arial,sans-serif"> </div>
<div style="font-size:13px; font-family:arial,sans-serif">Each student will be matched, based on his or her interests, to a laboratory that is led by a faculty member of the Department of Molecular & Integrative Physiology or of the University of Michigan Medical
School. The selected laboratories are involved in nationally recognized research, in topics such as hormones and signal transduction, obesity and diabetes, reproduction and circadian rhythms including sleep, gastrointestinal physiology including digestive
diseases, and many aspects of cardiovascular disease.</div>
<div style="font-size:13px; font-family:arial,sans-serif"> </div>
<div style="font-size:13px; font-family:arial,sans-serif">There will be a research forum at the end of the summer in which fellows will present their work, as well as opportunities to attend research seminars throughout the summer.</div>
<div style="font-size:13px; font-family:arial,sans-serif"> </div>
<div style="font-size:13px; font-family:arial,sans-serif">Further details and application materials are available from the fellowship website:</div>
