Vincent Spellman   "While at Cleveland Clinic, I had the opportunity to work on the overexpression of the InhBA gene, a developmental regulatory gene that mechanistically aids in the development of the pancreas. I was privileged to work under the tutelage of two PhDs who seek to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes. During my ten weeks at the Clinic, I was not only able to gain valuable research experience, but I was also able to gain a broader and deeper understanding of, and appreciation for science."
Monique O. Johnson  "Being a member of CIBSIP has given me a great opportunity to explore science by conducting research at Johns Hopkins. The research we conducted may be significant in the study of human diseases arising from abnormal endocytic regulation. I was able to present this research at the Hopkins Research Symposium and at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS)."
Christopher Coke "CIBSIP gave me the opportunity to work in Mayo Clinic's state-of-the-art facilities and learn cutting edge techniques that I wouldn't have had the opportunity or the resources to do otherwise. I was also exposed to the research side of medicine; gaining invaluable experience to help determine which career path would be most suitable for me."
Amber Cheatham "CIBSIP gave me the opportunity to conduct research at the University of Alabama in Birmingham for the summer of 2010. We used behavior tests to measure learning and memory in mice."

Welcome to CIBSIP

The Comprehensive Integrated Biomedical Science Initiative Program (CIBSIP) is designed to increase the number of students with special training in the quantitative aspects of biology. The program is designed to prepare graduates to meet the demands of the future, as these relate to the biomedical sciences, by providing a comprehensive academic and research training program.

The program attempts to infuse mathematics, computer science and chemistry into biological sciences. As a part of the research training, students will spend one summer conducting biomedical research at participating institutions.

It is expected that students successfully completing the program will graduate and matriculate into a biomedical graduate program at a leading institution.
