The program was created to:
- Expose students to serious biomedical research;
- Build a statewide biomedical research infrastructure between undergraduate and graduate institutions; and
- Strengthen each undergraduate institution’s infrastructure and increase its capacity to conduct cutting-edge biomedical and behavioral research.

I don’t think I can pinpoint an exact event that caused my interest in science. AP biology in high school probably sealed the deal for me though. The things I did in that class made science interactive and more meaningful than simple facts that needed to be remembered.
I have always been interested in infectious diseases and look to pursue that as a career path after completion of my graduate or professional schooling.
I hope the INBRE Program helps provide a comprehensive understanding of what research is and what it means to be heavily involved in that aspect of science.
