In the Hub, we can do the research which we normally were not able to do because we didn't have enough manpower. Using the facilities and expertise that are present within the Bachelor Research Hub this is now possible. Also a part of the research costs and supervision is covered from within the Hub, making the research more feasible.
Submit a project for the Biomedical Research Lab course (3rd year BMW; periods 1-3) or Experimental Translational Medicine course (2nd year BMW & GNK; period 4) for a 10-week full-time period, and:
-
Involve 16 students in your research.
-
Get extra laboratory space and equipment at your disposal: well-equipped laboratory in the center of UMCU.
-
Obtain extra financial support for laboratory costs and help from trained teacher-researches.
-
Acquire new data output, as well as get relevant and critical insights from students = fresh perspectives on your own research.
-
Conduct (existing or pilot) research for which there is not sufficient time in daily work.
-
Gain opportunity to form new collaborations by conducting joint student projects with various research groups (from different disciplines).
-
Students work on a basic research question (=benefits for fundamental research), a patient case (=benefits for patients and healthcare) or they can test/develop new assays (=benefits for diagnostics).
Carry out the 10-week Research project (Bachelor thesis) of the Bachelor's degree program BMW (Research project and Research project plus):
-
Research project: Write a thesis and perform two weeks of practical work.
-
Research plus project: Write a thesis and perform seven weeks of practical work.
-
Work under the supervision of a research group.
-
For the practical part, work individually or in a small group (final thesis remains an individual assignment!).
-
You can find research projects or patient cases posted by researchers/medical doctors, for which you can apply at KonJoin. Choose ‘Bachelor Research Hub’ to filter relevant research projects. Alternatively, please contact us for Hub projects.
Join the Bachelor Research Hub Summer School and in a 2-week period work on an actual patient case with an unknown medical problem or on an ongoing translational medicine research problem:
-
Gain realistic insights into the life of a biomedical researcher.
-
Conduct authentic and real-world biomedical research in small interdisciplinary groups.
-
Develop new practical skills or enhance existing ones.
-
Work in an international environment.
-
Obtain Certificate of attendance at the end of the Summer School.
-
The theme will change on a yearly basis.
In our dedicated and equipped laboratory space you can do authentic and current (ongoing) extracurricular research all year round under the supervision of experienced researchers. Research can be of different nature, such as fundamental, translational, clinical, epidemiological, but also diagnostic. Aside from the wet-lab research, you can work on cohort studies, (clinical) databases and data mining.
-
Work on the existing research (e.g. via KonJoin) or propose your own topic of interest.
-
Choose between wet- and dry-lab research, including cohort studies, database work and mining in big data.
-
Work on different types of research such as fundamental, translational, clinical, epidemiological, but also diagnostic.
-
Work individually or in a small group.
-
Develop academically, work on your practical skills, discuss and exchange ideas with other students/researchers.
-
No extra credits are available.
Bachelor Lab Continuum
In the Bachelor Research Hub, you can work throughout the year on the topic of interest, outside the regular courses:
-
Work on a topic for which you do not have time during the curricular courses.
-
Develop your practical skills and gain realistic insights into the life of a biomedical researcher.
-
Work in an international environment (during the Summer School).
-
Work individually or in a small group.
-
Certificate of attendance can be obtained (Honors EC), however no extra credits are available.
Bachelor Lab Summer Research
In the Bachelor Research Hub you can conduct extra-curricular research during the summer holidays:
-
Ongoing in parallel to the curricular course.
-
Gain in-depth knowledge on the specific topic or solve (small) problems.
-
Work individually or in a small group.
-
As an honors student, find extra depth within an ongoing course.
-
Certificate of attendance can be obtained (Honors EC), however no extra credits are available.
Bachelor Lab Co-curricular Research
During the curricular courses, you often work on a problem (research proposal, diagnostic, clinical, patient case), which sometimes raises additional questions and opens novel research paths. In the Co-Curricular Research Bachelor Lab, you have the opportunity to tackle these problems:
Coming soon...
If your research needs the help of a large group of students (>100 - 350) in the form of a discovery-based practicum (e.g. wet-lab work, bio-informatics, data-mining etc.), please contact us.
