PRoject eager

Training the next generation of scientists to solve real-world biological problems with computational tools.

mission statement

Project EAGER is a student-centered, NIH-funded initiative that recruits undergraduate students to engage in cutting-edge research in genomics, computational biology, and bioinformatics. Through hands-on training, cross-campus collaboration, and faculty mentoring, we prepare the next generation of scientists and medical leaders to tackle real-world biological questions using computational tools and shape the future of healthcare.
