Successful summer students at CINPLA - UiO:Lifescience

For the first time UiO:Lifescience granted undergraduate students with a salary to perform a research project during their summer vacation 2018. CINPLA were lucky to grab 4 talented students in various projects from gene-editing by crisper to behavioral analysis. 

The lack of opportunities for undergraduate students to take part in real research has previously been a great loss and it seems like this initiative has been a great success. The students presented their research in a seminar 13/11-2018 and Valgerður was awarded the best poster award.
