Welcome to UBMTP homepage

The Group Undergraduate Biology and Mathematics Training Program at NJIT (G-UBMTP) is a National Science Foundation funded program that aims to better prepare undergraduate biology or mathematics students to pursue graduate study and careers in fields that integrate mathematics and biology, fulfilling the growing need for young researchers skilled in the combined application of experimental and quantitative techniques to tackle challenging new problems in the Life Sciences. The core of this Program is a year-long research experiences for teams of Mathematics and Biology majors. Research projects will cover a diverse set of Mathematical Biology areas, focusing on different topics in Neuroscience, Ecology or Cell Biology.
