  • The center will organize various seminars where students will actively participate and can be benefited from the exposure to various finest scholars in the field of biomedical science and data analytics. These seminars will offer them unique networking opportunities with the scholars working in the related fields.
  • The students will also work on research projects undertaken by the center members in various capacity including graduate research assistantship (GRA) and summer research internships. They will be active members of the centers, performing data collection, management and analysis, manuscript writing, and developing proposal concept and framework.
  • The center will also create postdoc fellowship opportunities, which will, in turn, help them pursue career with unique expertise.

The center also plans to offer a summer biomedical data analytics camp for undergraduate students at Mason. This will be done by piggybacking on Dr. Koizumi’s ongoing service to the STEP-UP Summer Internship Program supported by the Office of Minority Health Research Co-ordination in NIH-NIDDK (National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases). The program has been offering mentorship to nationally selected underrepresented high school and undergraduate students, and Dr. Koizumi has been serving as a mentor of the program for the last 3 years. The proposed center will expand Dr. Koizumi’s mentorship effort to provide mentorship to include underrepresented undergraduate students at Mason.
