Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) fellowships are awarded to undergraduates from four-year colleges and universities for participation in a ten-week summer program. Students enjoy innovative research, professional development, and social activities all in the heart of New York City.

The ECC is a working group that assembles scholars, scientists, chefs, writers, journalists, performance artists, and food enthusiasts. This initiative is the collaboration of MRSEC Investigator Kent Kirshenbaum, Amy Bentley from NYU's Department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health, and Chef Will Goldfarb of WillPowder .

This video describes the Montclare lab research efforts to fabricate nano-scaled self-assembling proteins as materials. It focuses on the use of bacteria as the synthetic powerhouse for soft materials synthesis and features the self-assembly behavior of these biologically-inspired materials for potential use in therapeutic delivery and regenerative medicine.

The NYU MRSEC has partnered with the BioBus (http://BioBus.org), a converted transit bus equipped with digital microscopes, a cell culture lab, and a computer cluster.  This teaching laboratory on wheels travels in and around New York City, bringing hands-on scientific activities to schools, community centers and museums.

The MRSEC supports the SFP, which strives to enrich science education and instill excitement about science in the K-12 sector. Students participate is dynamic scientific demonstrations in the MDI and the CSMR.
