Advance scientific discovery with the International Undergraduate Research Program
The University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine (UNR Med) has partnered with various universities in England, Ireland and Scotland to create the International Undergraduate Research Program (IURP). Through this program, students from the Queens University, Belfast, North Ireland, the University of Ulster, North Ireland, the University of Manchester, England and the University of Dundee, Scotland have the opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research with a diverse and talented team of researchers.
The goals of this program are to promote inter-continental scientific collaborations and expand student experiences at an international level. International students can study in a variety of sub-specialties including: Physiology and Cell Biology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Biochemistry and Pathology.
Since 1991, IURP has successfully collaborated with talented international students to perform high quality research in basic sciences. We are proud to say that many of our past students have gone on to achieve Ph.D. degrees from some of the top universities in the world.
