(01/21/2026) 2026 Nuclear Science Career Academy (NSCA) Summer Internship Program:
We have one opening for summer internships in my research group as part of the 2026 NSCA at the MU Research Reactor. This internship is available to both Mizzou and non-Mizzou undergraduate applicants and will last for 8 weeks, with the possibility of an extension to 11 weeks. Interns will focus on developing extracellular matrix (ECM) pre-scaffolds on lipid nanoparticles, aiming to achieve desired structures and mechanical properties to modulate cellular behavior. For non-Mizzou applicants, travel expenses will be covered for one round-trip to and from Columbia, MO. If you are interested, please send your CV and a motivation letter to phanmd@missouri.edu.
More information on the program can be found here.
(01/21/2026) Student Assistant Research - Tissue Engineering
We have one opening for Mizzou students with backgrounds in biomedical engineering, biophysics, and biochemistry. The student's research project focuses on creating extracellular matrix (ECM) mini-scaffolds composed of single- and multi-protein configurations on lipid membranes with controlled structural and mechanical properties. This project is part of the effort seeking to understand how individual native ECM proteins contribute to cell-matrix interactions, leading to advanced technologies in regenerative medicine and tissue repair.
Interested students should submit a CV and a motivation letter through Handshake, where the full job description is posted.
