New UI program fosters biomedical research, education across Iowa

A new program at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine provides a unique learning experience for a group of college professors from around Iowa.

This summer, seven faculty from undergraduate colleges across the state served as the inaugural faculty fellows of the FUTURE (Fostering Undergraduate Talent—Uniting Research and Education) in Biomedicine Program. The initiative is building a network of scientists and science educators to benefit undergraduate science education and strengthen biomedical research in Iowa.
