Marie Powers Accepted to INBRE
Congratulations to Marie Powers, S-STEM scholar and NE STEM mentor, who was recently accepted into the Institutional Development Award Program (IDea) Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) program! This program immerses students in independent research projects and aims to strengthen biomedical research infrastructure by serving as a pipeline for students to continue into graduate school.
Marie is very excited to see what the program holds for her. Through INBRE, she will be able to have first-hand experience in biomedical research with a doctor at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. This summer, she will be working in the lab of Dr. Rakesh Singh. The two-year program will give her the tools she needs to be a competitive candidate for continuing her education after she graduates from the University of Nebraska Omaha.
This unparalleled opportunity to enhance her researcher toolkit will transfer directly into a real-life career and, after completing the program, Marie hopes to feel more capable in her future of conducting research.
